On Wednesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a roadmap for how the company plans to release GPT-5, the long-awaited follow-up to 2023's GPT-4 AI language model that made huge waves in both tech and policy circles around the world. In a reply to a question on X, Altman said GPT-5 would be coming in 'months,' suggesting a release later in 2025. Initially, Altman explained in a long post on X, the company plans to ship GPT-4.5 (previously known as 'Orion' internally) in a matter of 'weeks' as OpenAI's last non-simulated reasoning model.
OpenAI plans to simplify its product offerings by consolidating multiple AI models into GPT-5, making it the primary choice for ChatGPT users across all tiers.
