We're thrilled to announce that Scholarly now officially supports GPT-5, OpenAI's groundbreaking new language model that was just released today! This represents a major leap forward in AI capabilities, and we're excited to bring these powerful new features directly to your studying experience.

What's New with GPT-5?

OpenAI's GPT-5 represents a significant advancement in artificial intelligence, offering:

• Enhanced reasoning capabilities for more accurate problem-solving
• Improved mathematical understanding for STEM subjects
• Better contextual awareness for more relevant responses
• Improved deliberate reasoning that powers better answers under the hood
• Faster response times while maintaining quality

Free Access for Everyone: GPT-5 Mini

We believe that powerful AI should be accessible to all students. That's why every Scholarly user now has access to GPT-5 Mini completely free. This streamlined version of GPT-5 provides:

• Core GPT-5 capabilities for studying and homework help
• Fast response times for quick questions
• Enhanced accuracy compared to previous models
• Full integration with Scholarly's flashcard and note-taking features

Whether you're creating flashcards from PDFs, getting help with complex problems, or organizing your study materials, GPT-5 Mini will make your learning more efficient and effective.

Premium Features: Full GPT-5

For our paid users (Plus, Ultimate, and Enterprise), we're providing access to the complete GPT-5 experience, including:

Full GPT-5 Capabilities

• Maximum reasoning power for the most complex academic challenges
• Extended context windows for analyzing longer documents
• Advanced problem-solving across all subjects
• Priority access with faster processing

Smarter Assistant Modes

We've simplified the assistant experience while making it more powerful:

• Smart mode now runs GPT-5 and automatically uses deeper reasoning when needed. There is no separate “Thinking” mode UI anymore—the assistant decides when to reason, keeping the experience fast and focused.
• Fast mode uses GPT-5 Mini with no deliberate reasoning for quick turnarounds.

This gives you speed when you want it and depth when you need it—without extra toggles.

Research Upgrades

We've significantly expanded our Research system with GPT-5:

• Tripled iteration limits across all depth settings
• Parallel tool calls for broader, faster exploration
• Stability fixes for rare cases where a report could be missing
• Expect noticeably more search activity per complex query (often ~40 vs. ~5 previously) for better coverage

Flashcards and Study Mode

• Generation and study flows now use GPT-5 Mini/Nano where appropriate for speed and accuracy
• We're actively tuning verbosity for flashcard generation over the next few days to strike the right balance

Cleaner Citations and Better Memory

• Citations are now cleaner and less distracting in the UI
• Memory creation and recall reliability have been improved

Getting Started

GPT-5 is already live across Scholarly! If you're a free user, you'll automatically have access to GPT-5 Mini. Paid users can start using full GPT-5 in Smart mode immediately.

Simply interact with Scholarly's AI features as you normally would – the upgraded intelligence happens seamlessly in the background.

The Future of AI-Powered Learning

This integration represents our commitment to staying at the forefront of educational technology. As AI continues to evolve, Scholarly will continue to bring these advancements directly to students, making learning more effective and accessible for everyone.
