OpenAI is on the brink of launching GPT-5, the next iteration of its generative AI model. The launch timeline has not been officially confirmed, but it is set for a mid-year release, potentially in the summer, according to a report by Business Insider.
The new version of the large language model is expected to be much more capable than the GPT-4 model introduced last year. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, in a podcast with Lex Fridman, hinted at multiple releases this year.
Although he did not delve into details or specify the name, saying it is yet to be decided, he confirmed that OpenAI ‘will release an amazing new model this year.’
According to the BI report, the anticipated release of GPT-5 is slated for sometime in the summer, citing sources familiar with OpenAI’s plans. However, this timeline is not set in stone and could shift based on various factors.
Several reports have quoted industry insiders as saying that GPT-5 is as close as we have ever been to AGi or artificial general intelligence.
The report also suggests that OpenAI has been showcasing demos of GPT-5 to some enterprise customers. The enhancements to GPT-5 could offer a materially better experience than its predecessors.
The report suggests that GPT-5 is currently in the training phase regarding training and safety measures. It will undergo extensive safety testing, including an internal “red teaming” process. This involves rigorous evaluations to identify and address potential issues before public release.
Enterprise sales are expected to be OpenAI’s primary revenue source and will likely benefit significantly from the release of GPT-5. The updated model is expected to enhance the value proposition for business customers further.
It is yet to be seen how OpenAI will deal with the access and utilization of training data, much of which is copyrighted. OpenAI and other tech entities have been navigating regulatory discussions around using such data to improve AI models.
