But the recent declarations of Altman concerning the current deployment of the last and the biggest language model (LLM) of his company, GPT-5, are probably more important for customers and corporate decision-makers.
After a “bumpy” start of GPT -5 last week who saw certain users who claim the restored access to the LLM older in the chatpt such as GPT -4O and O3 -OPENAI granted the first – Altman is now pivoting to ensure that the infrastructure and the operating limits of Openai are a good adjustment 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 The first priority of the company is to ensure that current chatgpt users receive more total use that 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 reasoning power and time spent reasoning on more difficult problems, for Chatgpt Plus subscribers (the $ 20 plan per 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 also declared in his X Post that Optai “would favor the request for an API until the currently allocated capacity and 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 yesterday evening, Openai updated its online chatgpt version notes to allow chatgpt plus ($ 20 per month) subscribers to connect the application in search of files and projects on their third -party accounts on teams, Canva, Dropbox, Hubspot, Concept, Microsoft Sharepoint and Microsoft.
And a few moments ago, opened again Service update to authorize connections for Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Contacts For professional users first, followed by Plus Plans, Team, Enterprise and Edu.
For example, chatgpt users can search for their Gmail all emails corresponding to a certain request, a dropbox account or a concept workspace during a conversation without complying with these separate applications.
In addition, subscribers at Progpt Pro ($ 200 per month) can now connect their accounts to Microsoft teams and GitHub connectors and search for these third -party applications.
These join the 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 beta and default version for business and education plans, although administrators can activate them in the settings.
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 to calculate the allowance reflects the business efforts to first serve existing customers while increasing for future demand.
As the expansion of the calculation is put online, the payment of users should first benefit from the greatest availability and more ways to integrate the ChatPPT into their daily workflows.
But first, Openai must stabilize his release and ensure that GPT-5 works well For all users who want it.
