GPT-5 is here, and Microsoft is integrating it into everything from chatbots to developer tools. Here's what's new, what works, and what to expect.

OpenAI officially launched its new GPT-5 models today, and Microsoft is now bringing GPT-5 to Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, GitHub Copilot, and more. It’s part of a big simultaneous release of GPT-5 that will show up in Copilot as the new smart mode that I detailed in Notepad last month.

Microsoft has confirmed that its Copilot AI assistant now uses OpenAI’s GPT-5 language model for some users, marking a major upgrade to the company’s AI-powered productivity tools.

Microsoft's Gaming Copilot is now in Windows 11's Game Bar - and it looks nifty, but I'm worried about the AI on handhelds.

Microsoft has announced that it will discontinue its Microsoft Lens application in the coming weeks, directing its users to its Copilot artificial intelligence application. The Lens application serves as a mobile scanner for all sorts of documents.

Microsoft Lens was that type of app: a mobile document scanner that turned paper documents, business cards, receipts, and anything else into easily readable digital files. Now that app is being discontinued, Microsoft says, as it directs its users to its Copilot AI chat app instead.
