Despite launching its ambitious Chatgpt agent only last week, in specific openi fashion, there are another big release rumble on the near horizon: GPT-5.
While speculation about GPT-5 is not new-Openai’s CEO Sam Altman said GPT-5 was “released soon” on ” X At the beginning of this week – the new report states that it can be as soon as possible. A report from Ruckus Citing sources in the inner formula, it was said that GPT-5 may be out in early August, and, with most models of Openai, it will be paired with mini and nano versions, which will also be made available to developers through an API.

(Disclosure: ZDNET’s original company Ziff Davis filed a case of April 2025 against Openai, alleging that it violates Ziff Davis copyright training and operating its AI system.)
So why the model’s possible release has been making headlines for months? Whatever you should know here is updated with the latest information as we know.
A quick eye on the timeline
Openai model has a next generation of family-go back early in time.
When chats first popularity in November 2022, it was running at GPT-3.5. Openai then released the GPT-4 in March 2023, which at that time, marked a major jump in the intelligence. Then, in March 2024, it introduced a better version, GPT-4o, which almost improved its capabilities in the board and introduced multimodality. Now, a year later, we are overdue for GPT-5, and it was not always a plan.
In February, Altman shared Roadmap On X for the model of the new company, and in the comments, he said that it would be a case “Week/month.“However, in April, Altman said that the plans had changed, for the release of O3 and O 4-Munes and to push GPT-5 in a few months. Altman said the reason for the delay was that all different elements faced challenges while trying to integrate in the model.
So, what will really do GPT-5?
What do we know about GPT-5 (and why it matters)
According to Altman’s early roadmap, the GPT-5 O-Series models (think of O3 and O4 Reasoning models) and the GPT-Series models combine the arguments found in the model. The system will be able to understand when the best use of different powers of both types of models, which is a very big win for users because it ensures that the user gets the best combination of speed, cost and quality.
While logic models are good in producing high-quality answers for complex problems, they take more time because they are thinking through the problem, as a result are more expensive, and efforts are not always necessary if the task does not demand it. On the other hand, if the default chat or user is always selecting for GPT model, there are lost opportunities for logic models to produce better reactions. Right now, users have the option to togue, but often, people do not fully know which model would be better or not anyway.

In the same roadmap, Altman said that the Chatgpt-free users will get unlimited chat access to GPT-5 in Standard Intelligence Settings, while plus subscribers can reach a high level of intelligence level. Pro subscribers will be able to use it at the highest level. Models are slated to combine the best features of all chats, including voice, canvas, search, deep research, and more.
Last week, Altman reminded users that the model would be experimental and will include various research techniques, but it will be given to a model, which is still anonymous and whose release is not for months. Openai is also Said It is an open-source model in tasks, which GPT. After 2, the first open language will be model.
