GPT-5 Reveals OpenAI’s Biggest Struggle
PLUS: Build AI Workflows More Powerful Than Agents with n8n
Welcome back, AI millionaires! After months of anticipation, GPT-5 has officially launched. While its performance is impressive, it’s clear that OpenAI’s once-undisputed lead in the field is under increasing pressure.
There was a time when the GPT series was almost synonymous with “AI” But since GPT-4o, the pace of OpenAI’s breakthroughs appears to have slowed. Talent departures and intensified competition from rivals such as Claude, Grok, and Gemini have reshaped the landscape.
GPT-5 is a stunning evolution, rather than a revolutionary one — more akin to an average system update than an epochal innovation. It's a greater truth: the trade is now swimming in deep waters, where increased investment yields diminishing returns.
The technical ceiling appears. Pre-training limits are increasingly visible, the supply of good-quality internet data is running low, and techniques successful at the hundred-billion-parameter level are not working at the trillion-parameter scale.How Sam Altman will steer OpenAI through these headwinds and create a new path in a rapidly congested model marketplace will be closely watched in coming months.
This week’s top pick: n8n turns hours of repetitive work into a one-click flow — build automated email alerts, Google Sheets updates, and more with zero code.
What’s more: a gothic fantasy prompt pack for instant Midjourney-ready worlds, and a resume generator that delivers a polished PDF in seconds, no formatting pain.
