GPT-5 AI model that knows when to think deep

OpenAI

Recaply: OpenAI just launched GPT-5, their most advanced AI system yet that automatically decides when to respond quickly or think longer for complex problems. The unified system replaces multiple previous models with one smarter solution.

Key details:

  • Smart routing system automatically chooses between fast responses and deep reasoning based on question complexity.

  • Major performance gains across coding (74.9% on SWE-bench), math (94.6% on AIME 2025), and multimodal understanding (84.2% on MMMU).

  • Available to all users with Plus subscribers getting higher usage limits and Pro users accessing GPT-5 Pro for extended reasoning.

  • Significantly reduced hallucinations - 45% fewer factual errors than GPT-4o, 80% fewer when using reasoning mode.

  • Better instruction following with improved ability to handle multi-step requests and tool coordination.

  • Rolling out today to Plus, Pro, Team, and Free users, with Enterprise access coming next week.

Why it matters: This represents the biggest leap in AI capability since ChatGPT's launch. By combining fast responses with deep reasoning in one system, OpenAI is making expert-level intelligence accessible to everyone while dramatically improving accuracy and reducing AI limitations.

CREATE AI

Create AI

Recaply: After two years of development, Create AI launched Anything, an AI coding agent that builds complete mobile and web applications from simple English prompts. The platform focuses on creating production-ready apps, not just prototypes.

Key details:

  • Single AI agent handles frontend, backend, database, and deployment automatically.

  • Creates native iOS/Android apps plus responsive web versions with shared backend.

  • No external tool setup required - payments, auth, storage, and APIs work instantly.

  • Design system trained weekly on new styles to avoid generic AI appearance.

  • Autonomous error detection and fixing across compile time, runtime, and browser issues.

  • Free to start with additional credits for social sharing and engagement.

Why it matters: This launch signals the maturation of AI-powered development tools. Unlike existing no-code platforms that require multiple tools and technical setup, Anything promises true end-to-end automation. If it delivers on its promises, it could fundamentally change who can build and launch digital products.

AI & KOREA

South Korea launches national AI model to compete with US and China

Recaply: South Korea has selected five major consortiums led by companies like SK Telecom, LG, and Naver to develop a national AI foundation model using primarily domestic technology, positioning itself as an alternative to US and Chinese AI dominance.

Key details:

  • SK Telecom leads one consortium including gaming firm Krafton and chip startup Rebellions.

  • Project leverages Korea's strengths in semiconductors (SK Hynix, Samsung) and data centers.

  • First model expected by end of 2025, will be open-source for global developer use.

  • Initiative part of "sovereign AI" push to reduce dependence on foreign tech giants.

  • Models will still rely on Nvidia GPUs but aim to create complete domestic AI stack.

  • Companies plan to compete directly with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Chinese models like DeepSeek.

Why it matters: This represents a significant shift toward AI sovereignty as countries seek alternatives to US-China tech dependence. Korea's unique position with advanced semiconductor and memory technology could make it a viable third option in the global AI race, especially for nations wanting alternatives to American or Chinese systems.

AI RESEARCH

Microsoft unveils CLIO: AI that learns to think in real-time

Microsoft

Recaply: Microsoft just launched CLIO (Cognitive Loop via In-situ Optimization), a breakthrough framework that lets AI models develop their own reasoning patterns and adapt their thinking while working on problems.

Key details:

  • Unlike traditional AI models with pre-built reasoning, CLIO creates "steerable" systems that think and adapt in real-time.

  • The framework builds reasoning through self-reflection during use, creating feedback loops to explore ideas and manage memory.

  • Users control uncertainty thresholds and can change or restart reasoning paths entirely.

  • CLIO boosted GPT-4.1's accuracy on biomedical questions from 8.55% to 22.37%, beating OpenAI's o3 model.

  • The system flags uncertainties and provides full explainability for its reasoning process.

  • Works with existing non-reasoning language models, transforming them into adaptive thinkers.

Why it matters: CLIO proves AI doesn't need to be "finished" during training. For scientific research and high-stakes decisions, having controllable AI that improves its thinking in real-time could accelerate discoveries and build greater trust in AI systems.
