OpenAI is gearing up to release its latest iteration of its now iconic ChatGPT chatbot, making it potentially available to consumers in just a few weeks.
As first reported by The Verge, OpenAI is setting up GPT-5 for a release next month, promising it to be a “unified” model that consolidates the capabilities from both its multi-modal and reasoning models all in one.
In May, OpenAI vice president of research Jerry Tworek said GPT-5 would combine the capabilities of multiple models and deliver better results.
“GPT-5 is our next foundational model that is meant to just make everything our models can currently do better and with less model switching,” said Tworek in a Reddit AMA response.
Tworek also discussed OpenAI’s “Operator” product, which can perform web tasks for the user through its own browser. This includes tasks such as clicking, scrolling, and typing.
“It’s still a research preview, but we’re planning to make some improvements soon, and it can become a very useful tool then,” he said.
“A lot of what we need to do is eventually bring those tools (codex, operator, deep research, memory) together so they feel like one thing.”
Now, OpenAI’s head of developer experience, Romain Huet, has repeated the message that the GPT and O-series of models would be combined under GPT-5, delivering even better results than the standalone models.
“We’re truly excited to not just make a net new great frontier model, we’re also going to unify our two series,” he said.
“The breakthrough of reasoning in the O-series and the breakthroughs in multi-modality in the GPT-series will be unified, and that will be GPT-5. And I really hope I’ll come back soon to tell you more about it.”
While it is unclear exactly how GPT-5 will work, OpenAI may initially use “routing”, meaning it will call on a reasoning model in the background in circumstances it believes “deeper thinking” is needed to answer a query, according to BleepingComputer.
The publication also said that GPT-5 could be released in the first week of August and could be available in the next few days. However, journalist Mayank Parmar said the word of OpenAI should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Microsoft is already testing GPT-5 integration in internal builds of Microsoft 365 Copilot and is preparing Azure for GPT-5 integration.
