5 just dropped. It's truly amazing. It looks like OpenAI might be back on top.
This has a lot of people wondering: do I need to switch to ChatGPT if I'm using Claude? Do I need to use different models for different tasks, or am I wasting my time building workflows in ChatGPT when Google or Anthropic might come out with a better model next week?
And those are important questions. Things are moving fast. The last thing you want to be doing right now is wasting your time.
5 and then talk about what you can do right now to make the best of this opportunity.
It's essentially unanimous. 5. It's one of the few times where people's experience of the model actually surpassed the benchmark scores.
It's the biggest step up we've seen in image generation and also made big jumps in agnostic browsing, coding and complex reasoning.
It's definitely the best model available to the public right now. I'm sure OpenAI could have called it ChatGPT 6 and no one would have accused them of hyped. And I think this is a lot about where we're at right now.
The models are advancing so quickly, the model makers no longer need the hype.
And throughput has been shifting so quickly recently that everyone assumed OpenAI was in trouble. And who knows, maybe they still are. But at least for right now, they're definitely still in the game.
In my agency, we do about 90% of our work in Claude. They've just been the best model for the kind of work we do for a while now. But recently, Anthropic has become compute constrained.
As of the end of 2025, OpenAI had about 40% more compute than Anthropic. And while both companies estimate a 5x increase in compute by the end of 2026, right now we're definitely feeling the squeeze from Claude. Those tokens are getting expensive.
5, we're already starting to move some processes over to ChatGPT. But the way our processes are set up makes this really easy, and that's what I want to talk about.
Documentation is always been a really important for businesses. Having a company knowledge base and well-structured SOPs just helps you run efficiently. However, we're now quickly entering a world where your documentation is your business's most valuable asset.
I imagine we're going to see a lot of businesses where the majority of their value is in their documentation. And that's because we've reached the point where, with the right documentation, AI can do most of the work that a human could do on a computer better than a human. And those capabilities are continuing to increase rapidly.
Comprehensive documentation takes a long time to put together and structure in the right way. But it's the one thing you can be doing right now that you can be sure is not a waste of your time.
Once you have that documentation set up, it's easy to switch from one model to the next. You don't have to worry about whether the model you're using today is going to be the best model tomorrow. The value is already captured in your documentation.
There are two types of documentation you need: a knowledge base and instructions. I've already made a video detailing how I recommend structuring each of those. If you have any questions or tips on how you're doing this yourself, please leave in the comments.
We're all figuring this out together, and the sooner we get it right, the sooner we start taking advantage of these advancements.
