What we know about OpenAI's next chatbot release
OpenAI is reportedly gearing up to release a more powerful version of ChatGPT in the coming months. The new AI model, known as GPT-5, is expected to launch this summer as per sources who spoke to Business Insider. Businesses have already tried out a demo of the tool, showcasing its upgraded abilities. This move is part of OpenAI's pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI), a system that can operate without human oversight, potentially revolutionizing the field.
GPT-5: The successor to GPT-4
GPT-5 follows the footsteps of GPT-4, OpenAI's fourth-generation chatbot, which required a monthly fee for usage. The acronym GPT stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, an AI engine developed by OpenAI to power ChatGPT versions. Each upgrade of the chatbot operates on a new GPT model with enhanced capabilities.
GPT-4 could generate human-like responses, handle images and speech, while GPT-5 is anticipated to excel in personalization, accuracy, and content variety, possibly even supporting video content.
Training and Development of GPT-5
Recent reports suggest that OpenAI has initiated the training of GPT-5 with a planned release in the middle of this year. The AI model will undergo rigorous safety testing phases, including "red teaming," a method where testers evaluate its strengths and weaknesses.
Future Enhancements and Features
OpenAI's vision for GPT-5 extends to greater personalization and adaptability, aiming to push the boundaries of AI technology. The upcoming model is expected to require more extensive datasets for training, incorporating both public domain and proprietary data for optimal performance.
With a focus on multimodality and improved reasoning abilities, GPT-5 intends to surpass its predecessors and rival models from other tech giants. Despite the excitement surrounding GPT-5, the official launch date remains undisclosed by OpenAI.
