GPT-5 pro: Smarter, More Precise Responses

Released on October 6, 2025 as part of the GPT-5 lineup, GPT-5 pro sits alongside GPT-5.1 and GPT-5 as the family's higher-compute, accuracy-focused model.

Built for complex tasks that require step-by-step reasoning and reliable instruction following, it uses increased compute to deliver more thoughtful, consistently precise answers. These strengths make it well-suited for advanced analysis, multi-step problem solving, and high-accuracy workflows where careful reasoning is essential.

GPT-5 pro: Key Specs

Below are GPT-5 pro's main specs and how they translate into real-world behavior.

  • Context Window - Up to 400,000 tokens: This extensive context capacity allows the model to track long conversations or documents without losing earlier information, making it reliable for demanding, multi-step workflows.
  • Maximum Output Length - Up to 272,000 tokens: It can produce extremely long and continuous outputs, ideal for comprehensive reports, deep explanations, and highly detailed content.
  • Speed and Efficiency - Slowest speed among the options: Responses take more time to generate, making this model best suited for tasks where depth and accuracy matter more than turnaround speed.
  • Cost Efficiency - Positioned at a premium tier: Its higher cost reflects its advanced capabilities, making it appropriate for specialized, high-value use cases where top performance is essential.
  • Reasoning and Accuracy - Highest-tier reasoning capability: It excels at complex logic, structured analysis, and challenging problem-solving, offering the strongest precision and insight in the lineup.
  • Multimodal Capabilities - Processes text and images for input, returns text: It can interpret visual and written information together, supporting tasks like parsing diagrams, reviewing screenshots, or combining multiple content types into a clear text response.
