OpenAI is all set to release GPT-5 as an integrated system that integrates a lot of their technology including o3. o.3 will not by shipped as a standalone model. Apart from integration, the free tier of ChatGPT will get unlimited access to GPT-5. Paying subscribers would get access to models that incorporate ‘voice, canvas, search, deep research and more.’
It is expected to arrive sometime this summer.’ They have still not announced an official release date. All tools available in OpenAI’s API would be integrated into one system. There is a possibility of ads on it. GPT-5 would get closer to autonomous AI by being OpenAI’s first chain-of-thought (CoT) model. It would decide when it needs to engage in extended reasoning and when it can process a query straightaway.
So far, OpenAI has two types of generative AI models — reasoning models (o3 and o4 mini) and GPT (pre-trained transformer) models. Reasoning models are suitable for complex subject like mathematics, finance, law, etc. On the other hand, GPT models have lower latencies and costs and are designed for straightforward execution. GPT models are called workhorses.
The rival model is Google’s Gemini (previously Bard). It is at present free to use. Anthropic’s Claude chats with users on a variety of topics and responds to inputs such as tables and code snippets. Microsoft’s Copilot (previously Bing chat) is conversational chatbot. The Chinese DeepSeek is well-suited for complex queries and is free to use. Some other competing products are xAI’s Grok, Perplexity and Meta AI.
There are separate models for specific purposes — DALL-E for image generation, Sora for video generation and Amazon’s CodeWhisperer for code generation.
The ultimate aim of OpenAI is to develop AGI that can ‘outperform humans at most economically valuable work.’ In the process, it would develop more powerful models. In the process, the first AGI will be just a point in continuum of intelligence.
GPT-5 will its broader context window, wider inputs and more sophisticated training could revolutionize the use of AI.
