Launching of GPT-5: A New Milestone in AI Evolution

It’s fair to assert that OpenAI was at the forefront of catapulting the advancement in AI technologies with the advent of ChatGPT, which in turn, incited a flurry of innovation across the sector. This development led to the introduction of several competitive technologies by major corporations. Among these were Microsoft’s CoPilot, Google’s Gemini, and Meta’s Llama 3. Even though these companies have made significant strides, OpenAI’s advancements, spearheaded by the release of GPT-4 in March 2023, could appear to be in a catch-up phase. Yet, the tech world is abuzz with the expectation for the next iteration, GPT-5.

OpenAI’s chief executive, Sam Altman, has made it known that GPT-5 is forthcoming, although specifics about its release date and functionalities remain tightly guarded. However, there’s a buzz of speculation and insider clues about what it could potentially entail.

Projected Release Schedule for GPT-5

Based on the development pace of GPT-4, initial estimates suggested a 2025 debut for GPT-5. Yet, a Business Insider article has teased the possibility of an announcement as soon as summer 2024. Expectations were high for a reveal on April 22, aligning with Sam Altman’s birthday, which went by without an update. Current buzz now points towards a potential unveiling on April 23.

Amidst this, there’s chatter about OpenAI possibly rolling out an intermediate version, tagged as GPT-4.5, boasting superior performance and an expanded contextual understanding, in the lead-up to the full-fledged launch of GPT-5. OpenAI is also rumoured to be introducing other innovative offerings this year, which may include the eagerly awaited Voice Engine and potentially a new AI language model.

Expected Features of GPT-5

According to Sam Altman, GPT-5 is poised to mark a significant leap over its predecessors, potentially involving upwards of 1.5 trillion parameters. It’s projected to redefine the benchmark for language models with enhanced reasoning skills and more fluid conversation exchanges.

GPT-5 is also anticipated to embrace a multimodal approach, processing a wider array of inputs including images, videos, and other media types. It aims to pave the way for AI agents that can autonomously carry out tasks and seamlessly integrate with a variety of services, streamlining activities such as arranging travel, creating spreadsheets, or managing shopping lists based on user preferences.

GPT-5 Pricing Strategy

As of now, the complimentary version of ChatGPT operates on the somewhat dated GPT-3.5 model. Access to the most up-to-date model is gated behind a $20 monthly subscription. It’s plausible that GPT-5 will follow a similar subscription framework.
