OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap: GPT-5's Capabilities, Why It Matters, and Where AI Goes Next

This episode is brought to you by Genesis. What does it actually take to put a GenTic AI to work across an entire enterprise? I recently spoke with Genesis chairman and CEO Tony Bates about why orchestration is emerging as a competitive advantage in customer experience and what companies need to get right in the AI era. Then I sat down with Adam Mitchell, head of Enterprise Business Solutions at Voya Financial to go inside a large-scale Agentix CX transformation, including the business decisions, trade-offs, and lessons along the way. You can watch both conversations now on my YouTube channel today.

GPT-5 is here and OpenAI COO Brad Leitkop is with us to break down the new model's capabilities, what it means for the AI business, and what's next. for this promising technology. Brad, it's so great to see you. Thank you for joining us on an emergency episode of Big Technology Podcast. My pleasure.

Thanks for having me. All right. So briefly I just want you to talk a little bit about what GPT-5 is. So maybe within like 60 seconds or so, can you talk about what it is and how it improves on previous OpenAI models? Yeah, so GPT-5 is uh it's our next generation flagship model.
