🤖 Introducing GPT-5
PLUS: OpenAI releases a free GPT model that can run on your laptop

Happy Monday!
This week might go down as the biggest in AI so far this year. OpenAI officially released GPT-5, calling it its smartest, fastest, and most useful model yet, with state-of-the-art capabilities in coding, reasoning, writing, health care, vision, and more. They also introduced a brand-new free open model you can run directly on your desktop. Two major launches in one week is huge, and early tests are showing major improvements in both coding and writing. Have you tried them yet? I’ve got a killer prompt for you to test out this week:
PROMPT: You are my creative project planner. I have a passion project I care deeply about but haven’t started. Help me break it down into simple, non-intimidating steps. Start by asking a few questions to understand what the project is, why it matters to me, and what’s been stopping me. Then map out a realistic starter plan (organized by week or phase) that I can follow without burning out or overthinking. Be encouraging, clear, and practical.
Enjoy!
