Perplexity is setting up the stage to bring GPT-5 Thinking for its Max-tier users. If we go by the latest report from TestingCatalog, GPT-5 Thinking will first roll out to Max users and show up in the reasoning models list. While the company has yet to officially announce the feature, internal tests suggest the launch could be just around the corner.
Perplexity already offers reasoning-focused options, including o3 and o3 Pro, and now it looks like OpenAI’s latest GPT-5 Thinking model is going to join this list. However, the best part is that the already existing models are said to remain available, so the current workflows remain unaffected.
