The AI community is buzzing with excitement as we approach the anticipated release of GPT-5, OpenAI’s next language model. Speculations suggest this “amazing new model” could debut as early as late 2024 or early 2025. 

At the 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dropped hints about GPT-5’s capabilities. He described the upcoming model as “smarter,” with significant improvements in reasoning, reliability, and the ability to integrate text, images, and video. GPT-5 might also introduce autonomous AI agents that can manage real-world tasks without human intervention. 

Read on to learn everything we know about GPT 5 so far and what we can expect from the next-generation model. 

What is GPT-5?

“GPT-4 is the dumbest model any of you will ever have to use again.” — Sam Altman

GPT-5 is the forthcoming iteration of OpenAI’s series of Generative Pre-trained Transformers, a type of machine learning model specifically designed for natural language processing tasks. 

Chat GPT-5 Release Date

AI industry experts expect GPT-5 to be released in 2024 or early 2025, which aligns with OpenAI’s typical pattern of releasing major updates approximately every 1-2 years. 

This timeframe also fits with the incremental improvements seen in previous models, such as GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo.

History of OpenAI’s GPT Versions and Launch Dates

GPT Version

Launch Date

Details

GPT-1

June 2018

The pioneer model with 117 million parameters, introduced the transformer architecture that transformed NLP tasks.

GPT-2

February 2019

Scaled up to 1.5 billion parameters, capable of generating surprisingly coherent and relevant text, marking a significant leap forward.

GPT-3

June 2020

An advancement with 175 billion parameters, showcasing the ability to generate text indistinguishable from human writing in many cases.

GPT-3.5

December 2022

A refined update to GPT-3, boosting performance and reliability, making it even more useful across various applications.

GPT-4

March 2023

A major leap with 1.5 trillion parameters, featuring multimodal capabilities that integrate text, images, and more, offering deeper contextual understanding.

GPT-4 Turbo

November 2023

A turbocharged version of GPT-4, providing enhanced speed and efficiency, tailored for commercial and high-demand uses.

GPT-4o

May 2024

An optimized version of GPT-4, focusing on enhanced performance and efficiency. It introduced advanced voice capabilities, allowing more natural and interactive speech interactions.

GPT-5

Expected late 2024 or early 2025

Expected to bring advanced reasoning, improved reliability, and autonomous AI agents capable of handling real-world tasks without human oversight.

New Features Expected in GPT-5

Natural Language Processing in GPT-5 

GPT-5 is expected to have enhanced capabilities in understanding and processing natural language, making interactions even more intuitive and human-like.

Multimodality in GPT-5 

When Bill Gates interviewed Sam Altman on his podcast in January, Sam said that “multimodality” would be a significant breakthrough for GPT within the next 5 years. 

In AI, multimodality refers to the integration and simultaneous processing of data from multiple sources, such as text, images, audio, and video. This approach helps create models that understand and interpret diverse information, making predictions more accurate and reliable. 

As such, GPT-5 is likely to integrate better multimodal processing, allowing it to understand and generate responses based on a combination of text, images, and possibly other data formats, such as video processing capabilities.

Expanded Context Windows in GPT-5 

Expanded context windows refer to an AI model’s enhanced ability to remember and use information. While GPT-4o has a context window of 128,000 and can already answer general knowledge questions at an 87.2% accuracy, GPT-5 is likely to support expanded context windows, allowing it to process and remember more information from previous interactions, leading to even more relevant and accurate responses. In simpler terms, GPT-5 will be even more intelligent and coherent.

Is GPT-5 Expected to Achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? 

Sam Altman has claimed that the ultimate goal for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is to create an AI system that is "highly autonomous, capable of outperforming humans at most economically valuable work." However, whether GPT-5 or any specific iteration of GPT will achieve AGI remains uncertain, as AGI encompasses a broader scope of capabilities beyond what current models like GPT-4 or GPT-5 might exhibit.
