After a GPT-5 start of GPT-5 of GPT-5 last week which saw certain users claim restored access to The LLM older disousted in the Chatppt such as GPT-4O and O3 – Openai granted the first – Altman is now pivoting to ensure that the underlying infrastructure and use limits of OpenAi are a good choice for the company And Its 700 million active weekly chatgpt users.

Manage the demands of demand and use of the GPT-5
In an article on X last night, Altman explained how Openai will prioritize IT resources in the coming months.
He said the company The first priority is to ensure that current chatgpt users receive more total use than before the release of GPT-5, although it has not provided specific figures for the increase.
However, Altman previously published on X OPENAI “tried” a limit of use of 3,000 messages per week when using the GPT-5 “thought” modemore power of reasoning and time spent reasoning on more difficult problems, to Chatgpt plus subscribers (the $ 20 plan a month).
Interestingly, a report by an AI application creator on X said that Optai had told him that the GPT-5 use limits more thinking about the Chatgpt team ($ 30 per user per month) Much lower than that of Chatgpt Plus users, only 200 “reflection” messages per week When selected manually by the user.
The availability of OPENAI of GPT-5 via its application programming interface (API) for third-party developers is also modified.
Altman too declared in its x post that Optaai “would favor the request for an API until the capacity and the currently allocated commitments that we have made to customers. “”
In other words, existing API users and those already under contract will obtain the first Dibs on GPT-5 access via the Openai API, others may have to wait longer.
Altman also clarified “We can support about ~ 30% of new additional growth in the API from which we are today with this capacity”, ” This means that they can assume more API users, but not too much.
Although Openai has not definitively shared the number of users of its API in a certain time, the company said that it had “5 million” activities that pay for chatgpt access.
Altman also said OPENAI plans to double its calculation fleet in the next five months. It has not specified the size or type of current infrastructure involved, but indicated that expansion should reduce capacity constraints and improve performance for chatgpt and API users.
I contacted Openai to ask for more details on the numbers above – 30% API growth of what? Double the calculation fleet compared to what? – and will update when I hear.
New options for Chatgpt Plus and Pro users to search for Microsoft teams and more…
Also last night, Openai updated its online chatgpt version notes to Allow chatgpt plus subscribers ($ 20 per month) has Connect the application looking for files and projects on their third -party accounts on box, canva, dropbox, hubspot, concept, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft.
For example, chatgpt users can search for their dropbox account or the concept workspace during a conversation without complying with these distinct applications.
In addition, subscribers to Chatgpt pro tier ($ 200 per month) can now link their accounts to Microsoft teams and GitHub connectors And search for these third -party applications.
They join Previous OPENAI connectors in Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar, Among other applications.
THE The individual user / account holder must first manually connect these external chatgpt accounts.
To do this, they will need:
- Click on their account name in the lower left corner of the web interface
- Click on “Settings” in the context menu then …
- Click on “Connectors in the menu of the left sidebar. This should extract a gallery view of available external applications and icons. Screenshots below.
Unfortunately, These connectors are not available for pro subscribers and more in Europe, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
The new connectors are currently in a beta version and Disabled by default for business and education plans, although administrators can allow them in the parameters.
Supply and demand balance
By combining capacity planning with new productivity integrations, OPENAI positions GPT-5 not only as a more powerful AI model, but also in the context of a more connected workspace.
The approach staged of the calculation allowance reflects the The business efforts to serve existing customers first while increasing for future demand.
As the extension of the calculation is put online, paid users should first benefit from both greater availability and more ways of Integrate Chatgpt into their daily workflows.
But first, Openai must stabilize his release and ensure that GPT-5 works well For all users who want it.
