Add model GPT-5-chat for more conversational non-reasoning chats

[leoreche]

Hi!

I’m on a quest to deploy GPT 5 products and here’s my conundrum. No matter how much I prompt, my users still prefer pickaxes with GPT4.1**.**

With GPT5-chat, however, I’ve been getting great, more natural results. It works well as a non-reasoning upgrade from 4.1. The answers are more conversational and easy to read on a chat-bot interface like pickaxe.

I would love to see GPT5-chat it added as a model on pickaxe to start upgrading my tools. Here’s a demonstration on the difference:

@leoreche thanks so much for the feedback! I have put our engineers on to adding GPT-5 Chat, and it should be live very soon

I’m so confused. I built 5 bots this past week, and was able to choose GPT5 for the model when I did so.

@Ibdesign GPT-5 may look like a single model, but it’s actually a line of models with many variations for example GPT-5 mini and GPT-5 nano (which are on pickaxe).

GPT-5-chat is just another variation, which is actually the one ChatGPT uses for non-reasoning tasks. It’s a non-reasoning model, therefore it functions similarly to how GPT-4 used to operate. Its works better for everyday chatting tasks, where the bot doesn’t have to think too much. Hope this answers it

Woah. So all this time I’ve been using bots set at GPT5, it’s been only mini or nano? And there’s no selector, so I can’t know which it is?

Edit:

Never mind. I see I’ve been on GPT5 with reasoning options, and now I see the ‘chat’ variant.
