"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," Jerry Tworek, who is a VP at OpenAI, wrote in a Reddit post. My sources tell me that GPT-5 could drop in the coming days, likely in the first week of August, but since we're talking about OpenAI, remember that plans are always subject to change. GPT-5 is believed to be the "unified" model, which means it combines the breakthroughs from the reasoning and multi-modal models, such as o3 and 4o respectively. OpenAI previously claimed that GPT-5 will also make the existing models significantly better at everything. OpenAI maintains an "o" lineup for reasoning capabilities, while the 4o and other models have multi-modality. "We're truly excited to not just make a net new great frontier model, we're also going to unify our two series," says Romain Huet, OpenAI's Head of Developer Experience. OpenAI's ChatGPT-5 could drop in the coming days, and it could be one of the best models from the Microsoft-backed startup. "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. As The Verge's Tom Warren first reported, GPT-5 is being prepared for an August release. With GPT-5, OpenAI plans to unify the breakthrough in its lineup and deliver the best of the two worlds. Microsoft is already testing internal builds of Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot with GPT-5.
