Word on the street is that OpenAI's GPT-5 is set to drop this summer, and the tech world is buzzing.
Select enterprise clients have been given sneak peeks at the upgraded model and its associated ChatGPT tool, and the feedback is impressive.
One CEO witnessed a GPT-5 demo and exclaimed, "It's just mind-blowing, a quantum leap," as OpenAI showcased the new model's capabilities using his company's proprietary data and use cases.
But hold your horses! OpenAI hasn't set a concrete release date yet. There's some wiggle room in the company's plans, so that date could shift.
Our insider sources whisper that OpenAI is still training GPT-5 and plans to run internal safety tests and further evaluations once training is complete. This could take time, potentially delaying the release.
Since safety testing doesn't adhere to a strict timeline, it's tough to predict how long it will take.
In the meantime, selling enhanced ChatGPT access to enterprise clients has become a key revenue stream for OpenAI. CEO Altman is doubling down on this aspect of his budding AI empire.
At a recent Silicon Valley event, Altman teased that GPT-5 will perform "way beyond" expectations.
He maintains that there's no fundamental limit to GPT models, and that with enough compute, building an AGI (artificial general intelligence) that surpasses human abilities isn't far-fetched. This has certainly amped up the anticipation for GPT-5.
One thing's for sure: OpenAI's GPT-5 model promises a significant jump in performance for users. While the exact release date remains a bit of a mystery, rest assured that the big reveal is coming as training and testing progress.
