Gartner: GPT-5 is here, but the infrastructure to support true agentic AI isn’t (yet)
While OpenAI’s GPT-5 is highly-performant, capable and an important step forward, it features just faint glimmers of true agentic AI.
Chandrasekaran pointed out that OpenAI has pivoted to make GPT-5 “very good” at coding, clearly sensing gen AI’s enormous opportunity in enterprise software engineering and taking aim at competitor Anthropic’s leadership in that area. This means that applications that previously relied on complex retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines to work around context limits can now pass much larger datasets directly to the models and simplify some workflows. However, differences in output formats, memory and function-calling behaviors may require code review and adjustment, and because GPT-5 may render some previous workarounds obsolete, devs should audit their prompt templates and system instructions.
