On February 13th, local time, Sam Altman, the Chief Executive Officer of OpenAI, made an official announcement on the X platform (formerly Twitter) regarding a significant development: OpenAI has plans to roll out the highly – anticipated GPT – 5 within the next few months. Notably, users of the free – version of ChatGPT will be granted the privilege to engage in unlimited conversations using this model under standard intelligence settings.
Based on the roadmap unveiled by Mr. Altman, OpenAI is set to initially release GPT-4.5, codenamed “Orion” internally. This will mark the final non – thought – chain model developed by OpenAI. Subsequently, GPT – 5, which is designed as an integrated system incorporating multiple OpenAI technologies, including the inference model o3, will be launched on both ChatGPT and the API. Concurrently, the o3 model will cease to be launched as an independent entity.
The launch of GPT – 5 is strategically aimed at streamlining and enhancing OpenAI’s artificial intelligence product ecosystem, with the objective of furnishing users with a more cohesive and intelligent experience. Mr. Altman expressed that OpenAI aspires for AI to genuinely “serve” users, revert to a state of unified intelligence, and eliminate the need for users to grapple with complex decisions among different models.
Regarding user access rights, free – version ChatGPT users will be provided with unrestricted chat permissions under the “standard intelligence settings” of GPT – 5, thereby catering to the day – to – day requirements of the vast majority of users. Subscribers of ChatGPT Plus will have the opportunity to utilize the “higher – intelligence level” of GPT – 5, enabling them to enjoy a more robust interaction experience.
ChatGPT Pro subscribers, on the other hand, will be entitled to an “even higher – level intelligence experience” and will have access to the most advanced AI services. Nevertheless, to prevent misuse, the utilization of the free version will be subject to certain surveillance measures.
In addition to the remarkable feature of free usage, GPT – 5 will integrate a diverse range of functions, such as voice interaction, canvas – based operations, search capabilities, and DeepResearch functionality. This integration will offer users a more versatile and convenient means of interaction. Voice interaction will render conversations more natural and fluid, the canvas tool will augment the processing capabilities for images and texts, the integrated search function will be able to deliver more precise and relevant responses, and the DeepResearch function will be more effective in handling intricate problems.
Although Mr. Altman refrained from explicitly disclosing the exact release dates of GPT – 4.5 and GPT – 5, merely providing a rough estimate of “weeks/months”, this announcement has already triggered a substantial response within the artificial intelligence community and among user groups. Since the launch of GPT – 4 in March 2023, both users and the industry have been eagerly awaiting the next major leap forward from OpenAI. The impending arrival of GPT – 5 undoubtedly has everyone filled with anticipation.
This release plan for GPT – 5 by OpenAI not only showcases the organization’s continued innovation and preeminent position in the artificial intelligence domain but also extends more inclusive and potent AI services to a large number of users. It is anticipated to further propel the application and development of artificial intelligence technology across diverse fields.
