OpenAI has announced that the highly-anticipated GPT-5 release could be as early as this summer, with expectations running high for the new large language model. The new model is reportedly even better than its predecessor, GPT-4, according to some enterprise customers who have had access to a demo. Business Insider has reported that the new model is expected to be released this summer, pending successful red-teaming to address ethical and safety concerns.
The generative AI frenzy initiated by OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been influential in prompting Big Tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Apple to develop consumer-facing tools. Google’s Gemini, Microsoft’s Copilot, and other products have utilized OpenAI’s models to enhance their services. As discussions emerge about adding Gemini to Apple’s iPhone, the competition in the generative AI space is heating up.
In a recent podcast interview with Lex Fridman, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hinted at the significance of the upcoming GPT-5 release, suggesting that the new model will be a significant improvement over GPT-4. Altman emphasized the importance of continually advancing technology to ensure a better future.
Amidst OpenAI’s achievements, controversies have arisen, including concerns about the training of the video generator Sora and lawsuits related to copyright infringement from news outlets. With OpenAI poised to release an amazing new model this year, the tech world eagerly awaits further details on the capabilities and impact of GPT-5.
