Newest first. Release dates describe the model, not when today's rates took effect. Observations show when we recorded rates, not launch pricing. Image and text token meters are separate; no fixed image-token savings mix is assumed. How we verify

When to use GPT-5 Pro
Good fit
- code generation, debugging, and agentic development work where output quality affects engineering time
- reasoning-heavy prompts, planning, analysis, and multi-step tool use
Be careful with
- bulk summarization or simple classification where cheaper models can pass evaluation
