OpenAI has confirmed plans to release GPT-5 this summer. The new model will merge the key achievements of previous series, including the multimodal capabilities of GPT-4 and the logical reasoning features of the "o" series. According to BleepingComputer, the company aims to create a powerful, unified model that eliminates the need to switch between different versions.
"We want to not only launch a new flagship model but also to unify our series into one," said Romen Yue, the head of developer relations at OpenAI.
He mentioned that GPT-5 will combine "a breakthrough in reasoning" with "a breakthrough in multimodality."
On Reddit, Vice President Jerry Tworek added that GPT-5 is designed to enhance all existing model capabilities, making them more user-friendly without the need for switching.
The exact launch date has not been disclosed yet, but OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously hinted that the release is planned for summer 2025.
