GPT-5 Hands-On: Welcome to the Stone Age

As an early-access partner of OpenAI, I was given the chance to test GPT-5 early. And I’ve tested it everywhere: in our app (raindrop.ai), in Cursor, in Codex, in Canvas. Truly anything and anywhere, I’ve tried to stuff GPT-5 into it.

tldr: I think GPT-5 is the closest to AGI we’ve ever been. It’s truly exceptional at software engineering, from one-shotting complex apps to solving really gnarly issues across a massive codebase.
