OpenAI Plans To Launch GPT-5 In August: Report

ChatGPT maker OpenAI is planning to launch the GPT-5 model as early as August, according to a report by The Verge.

GPT-5, which was originally expected to be released in May, is now set to launch “as early as next month,” The Verge reported, citing sources familiar with the plans.

In February, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that GPT-5 will incorporate the reasoning capabilities of its o3 model.

OpenAI aims to merge o-series and GPT-series models to “reduce the friction of having to know which model to pick for each task in ChatGPT.”

"While GPT-5 looks likely to debut in early August, OpenAI's planned release dates often shift to respond to development challenges, server capacity issues, or even rival AI model announcements and leaks," the report said.

Recently, Altman posted on X confirming that GPT-5 will be released soon. According to reports, OpenAI will also launch mini and nano versions of the GPT-5 model.
