OpenAI is expected to launch the GPT-5 model as early as August.
GPT-5 is said to be available on both ChatGPT and OpenAI’s API.
OpenAI is also expected to launch a new open-weight language model before the end of July.
OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch its next big AI model, GPT-5, as early as August. While GPT-5 was initially expected to arrive in late May, some delays and testing pushed the release timeline further, according to The Verge. Now, it’s likely to launch in early August, possibly alongside smaller versions: GPT-5 mini and nano.
SurveyIn a recent podcast appearance with comedian Theo Von, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman provided some details of GPT-5. He decided to ask the model a question he couldn’t answer. “I put it in the model, this is GPT-5, and it answered it perfectly,” Altman said. He called it a “here it is moment” and admitted, “I felt useless relative to the AI.”

Altman earlier this year called GPT-5 “a system that integrates a lot of our technology,” explaining that it will feature the o3 reasoning capabilities instead of offering them through a separate model. The standard version of GPT-5 is expected to be available on both ChatGPT and OpenAI’s API. The mini version will also likely be offered on the same platforms. However, the nano version is said to be available through the API.

According to the report, OpenAI will also launch a new open-weight language model before the end of July, just ahead of GPT-5. This open model is said to be similar to “o3 mini” and will include reasoning skills. It will also mark OpenAI’s first open-weight model release since GPT-2 in 2019 and will likely be available on platforms like Azure, Hugging Face, and other cloud services.
