A quick way to get better responses with ChatGPT-5
The latest GPT-5 upgrade introduced new ChatGPT modes: Auto, Instant, Thinking Mini, Thinking, and Pro.
If you weren’t aware of these modes or have only been using the default, you’ve been missing out on better answers to your prompts. By switching to the right mode, I got quicker responses, deeper analysis, better image generation, and more.
In this guide, I’ll explain when to use each mode and discuss their weaknesses.
The ChatGPT Modes
To find the ChatGPT modes, just click on ChatGPT-5 located in the upper-left corner. You’ll see the list below.
Let’s start with auto mode.
Auto: The default mode you should avoid
Auto Mode is the default GPT-5 mode. It analyzes your prompt and context to choose what mode best fits your query (instant, thinking, etc)
On paper, auto mode is an intelligent autopilot that automatically switches from one mode to another. However, in reality, it doesn’t always work as expected, as many users have reported.
