Empowering individuals to understand, participate in and advocate for their care is one of the most powerful ways LLM tools will improve the health of the world ❤️🩹

GPT-5 is here. Rolling out to everyone starting today. openai.com/gpt-5/

GPT-5 is our best model yet for health-related questions, empowering users to be informed about and advocate for their health. The model now provides more precise and reliable responses, adapting to the user’s context, knowledge level, and geography.

Last October, my wife was diagnosed with three cancers in a single week. Today, we told that story on the GPT-5 livestream with @sama. Not because it’s easy to tell, but because someone facing that news today should know there’s a new kind of lifeline. 🧵

📣 Excited to share our real-world study of an LLM clinical copilot, a collab between @OpenAI and @PendaHealth. Across 39,849 live patient visits, clinicians with AI had a 16% relative reduction in diagnostic errors and a 13% reduction in treatment errors vs. those without. 🧵

The potential to support frontline clinicians with AI - not to replace, but to uplift - is immense! A caring clinician + the right AI tool can = better care in real-world clinical settings. I’m so proud to be part of this work and grateful to this team for making it real! @thekaransinghal @rahularoradfs @rldistler @doctorroko

📣 Proud to share HealthBench, an open-source benchmark from our Health AI team at OpenAI, measuring LLM performance and safety across 5000 realistic health conversations. 🧵 Unlike previous narrow benchmarks, HealthBench enables meaningful open-ended evaluation through 48,562 unique physician-written rubric criteria spanning several health contexts (e.g., emergencies, global health) and behavioral dimensions (e.g., accuracy, instruction following, communication).
