About this listen

OpenAI’s GPT-5 is here—and it changes more than you think. While the leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5 may look incremental, the impacts on government workflows, prompting strategies, and governance are anything but small. This episode unpacks what GPT-5 actually brings: router-style architecture, verbosity and reasoning controls, free-form function calling, improved memory, reduced hallucinations, and more proactive “it just does stuff” behavior.

We also examine why these changes matter for local government. From disrupted automations to the need for explicit prompting strategies, GPT-5 requires a shift in mindset: treat it as infrastructure, not novelty. Learn practical ways to manage governance, set boundaries, and unlock higher-quality outputs by using verbosity settings, reasoning levels, rubrics, and the “router mindset.”

If you work in or with government, this episode gives you the briefing you need to understand both the risks and opportunities of GPT-5.
