GPT-5 isn’t as good as GPT-4o when it comes to emotional support, but that changes today.As first spotted by BleepingComputer, ChatGPT has rolled out a new update to its GPT-5 instant model.This model update allows GPT-5 to quickly understand and support those who are not having a good time emotionally.’When GPT-5 detects you’re having distress. The model is trained to more accurately detect and respond to potential signs of mental and emotional distress,’ OpenAI [noted](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9624314-model-release-notes#h_d7ec15c07a).OpenAI developed the model with help from mental health experts.GPT now automatically tries to push you towards real-world crisis resources when appropriate, while still using language that feels supportive and grounding.GPT-5 was disliked by GPT-4 users because it felt too practical when they were expecting emotional support.OpenAI says these changes will still keep GPT-5 supportive and grounded.’When GPT-5 Auto or a non-reasoning model is selected, we’ll instead route these conversations to GPT-5 Instant to more quickly provide helpful and beneficial responses,’ OpenAI explained.’ChatGPT will continue to tell users which model is active when asked.’This update to GPT-5 Instant is starting to roll out to ChatGPT users today.
