OpenAI has just released its most advanced language model yet, GPT-5, and it’s poised to revolutionize ChatGPT. With a host of new features and improvements, ChatGPT is now faster, more user-friendly, and more customizable than ever before. But the standout feature of GPT-5 is its vibe coding abilities.
Vibe coding is the latest trend in software development, allowing users to describe the software or app they want to create in natural language, leaving the AI to handle the coding. OpenAI claims that GPT-5 brings significant advancements in coding, particularly in creating custom, interactive applications based on simple prompts. This means that ChatGPT can now generate fully functional apps and software in a matter of minutes, catering to various needs in education, work, or leisure.
### GPT-5: Your Personal Coder
Vibe coding has gained popularity with the improvement of AI services, offering a way to code using plain language. GPT-5 is positioned as your personal coder, capable of creating the perfect app for your specific requirements or helping you bring your website ideas to life. At the launch event, OpenAI demonstrated GPT-5’s coding prowess by generating a French language learning app with multiple features requested in a natural language prompt.
OpenAI emphasizes GPT-5’s “agentic coding,” allowing it to work autonomously in the background for extended periods, executing tasks as instructed without constant oversight.
### We Tested Vibe Coding with GPT-5
Putting GPT-5 to the test, Mashable’s tech editor requested a visualization of the Titanic sinking. Compared to GPT-4o’s lackluster attempt, GPT-5 excelled in creating a detailed and interactive visualization that accurately depicted the ship’s compartments flooding. While not flawless, the output showcased a significant improvement in vibe coding capabilities, indicating a promising future for using natural language as a coding tool.
As with any new technology, GPT-5 may not always deliver perfect results, especially in coding tasks. However, the advancements it offers over its predecessors, like GPT-4o, suggest that natural language could indeed be the next frontier in coding languages.
The Evolution of Software Development
Even if GPT-5 isn’t perfect, it’s clear that the way we create software is changing. I’ve often heard it said that the next big coding language is actually just natural language. Now, I’m starting to really believe it.
In the future, you won’t need to learn actual programming languages to be able to code — you’ll just need to be able to communicate your ideas.
The Power of GPT-5 in Programming
We’ll also have to wait and see exactly how much better at programming GPT-5 really is, or if the improvements are more iterative. After all, Anthropic’s Claude is often considered to be better at coding than ChatGPT. And while the benchmarks reported in the GPT-5 system card put GPT-5 ahead of Claude, more independent testing will be needed to confirm this.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
