OpenAI may introduce a significantly improved version of GPT-5 this summer
According to Business Insider’s sources (two people close to the company), OpenAI is preparing to release the next version of its GPT-5 language model in the coming months (probably in the middle of the year).
It is reported that some enterprise customers have received demo versions of the model and related advanced chatbot settings of ChatGPT. According to one of the CEOs of a client company, the model is indeed better and offers use cases exclusive to his business.
OpenAI has not officially announced the GPT-5 release date and has not commented on the rumors.
Another source said that the model is still in training and is awaiting security checks and “red team” testing, a process in which employees and usually outsiders try to identify problems before the tool is made available to the public.
The last update for ChatGPT – GPT-4 – was released a year ago, followed by an improved version of GPT-4 Turbo, which solved the problem of chatbot laziness, which refused to respond to some prompts.
Recently, OpenAI also announced a preliminary fee for its API, which, starting March 25, can be used only by purchasing a few credits per month (currently available in amounts ranging from $5 to $50, but soon to be increased).
