OpenAI plans to launch GPT-5 in August: Report

Sam Altman-led OpenAI is planning to launch its much awaited advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model GPT 5 in August, according to a report by The Verge.

The news comes after Altman's statement to make free copy of GPT-5 available to everybody. “I am very interested in what it means to give everybody on Earth a free copy of GPT-5, running for them all the time," he said.

Altman also shared plans to roll out GPT-5 on microblogging platform X on July 19. However, he said it is not yet capable of solving the very hardest math problems, such as those in the International Math Olympiad (IMO).


“We are releasing GPT-5 soon but want to set accurate expectations: this is an experimental model that incorporates new research techniques we will use in future models,” he said.

“We think you will love GPT-5, but we don't plan to release a model with IMO gold level of capability for many months,” he added.

In April, Altman announced a shift in the company’s AI model release schedule, revealing that intermediate models known as ‘o3’ and ‘o4-mini’ will be launched in the coming weeks, ahead of the much-anticipated GPT-5 rollout.

Earlier this month, Reuters reported that the company is also preparing to launch an AI-powered web browser that would directly compete with Google Chrome. This follows the recent release of ChatGPT Agent, a new tool that can perform tasks on users’ computers autonomously.
