The companies that make artificial intelligence chatbots are racing to make the apps seem smarter, make fewer mistakes, and handle more complicated tasks.

OpenAI, the company that brought us ChatGPT, has just unleashed GPT-5, a new version of its popular chatbot that promises to be so smart it could probably ace a final exam at UT without even cracking a book. GPT-5 is now available.

GPT-5 is a big deal, but don't underestimate the power of these smaller feature upgrades - especially new access to Advance Voice Mode for free users.
