According to media reports, OpenAI's next-generation language model, GPT-5, is expected to be officially released in early August. Previously, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, revealed in a recent podcast that the release of this model is progressing smoothly and also mentioned on social media "We are about to release GPT-5." This has sparked a series of expectations in the tech industry for GPT-5.

According to internal sources, the initial launch date of GPT-5 was expected in May, but due to additional testing and delays, it was finally set for August. This news indicates that OpenAI is fully prepared for the release of GPT-5. Altman even shared his interaction with GPT-5 on the podcast, mentioning that there was a question he could not understand, but GPT-5 quickly provided a perfect answer, which surprised him. He described it as a "wonderful moment" and said he felt somewhat "useless" in front of AI.

Before this, traces of GPT-5 had already appeared online, further deepening people's speculation about its release. The upcoming GPT-5 will include mini and nano versions, and all versions will be available to developers through APIs. This diverse range of versions will allow more users to access this advanced AI technology.

OpenAI has not made an official response to the announcement of the August release, but Altman stated that GPT-5 will integrate many existing technologies and incorporate o3 reasoning capabilities instead of releasing them separately. This integrated design concept has significantly improved the functionality and performance of GPT-5, making it highly anticipated.

Notably, OpenAI also plans to release an open-weight language model before the end of July. This model will have advanced reasoning capabilities and will be similar to the o3 mini version. This will be the first time since GPT-2 in 2019 that OpenAI has released an open-weight model, and users can access it on multiple cloud service platforms such as Azure and Hugging Face.

Altman confirmed that the release of the open model experienced a brief delay due to the need for security testing and review in high-risk areas. However, internal sources reveal that OpenAI is pushing to release this model before GPT-5, possibly to gain an advantage over competitors announcing new products.
