GPT-5: Is AGI here?

Dive into the much-anticipated GPT-5 update. We cut through the hype to analyze OpenAI's latest offering, covering its new unified architecture, efforts to reduce hallucinations, enhanced memory, and the controversial decision to deprecate GPT-4. Is GPT-5 the leap towards AGI we've been promised, or just an incremental step? We compare its capabilities against Gemini, Grok, and Claude, and share our candid thoughts on whether it truly delivers or leaves us more excited for upcoming models like Gemini 3.0.
