The next big AI innovation is right around the corner, according to sources
Individuals and businesses alike are enjoying using OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo model. However, as powerful as it is, we can’t help but look toward the future, and the future may be upon us sooner than we expected. According to a new report, GPT-5, if the company decides to call it that, may launch this summer. In a recent interview with Lex Fridman, OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, said that the company is going to release “an amazing new model” this year. Since GPT-4 is out and about, the logical next step will be GPT-5. However, neither Sam nor any other OpenAI employee officially stated that. So, this is still speculative. GPT-5 may arrive this summer Right now, information on GPT-5 is extremely scarce. So, we have no idea how much more powerful than GPT-4 it will be. In fact, we don’t even know if the company is planning on calling it GPT-5. We don’t have a solid idea of the company’s naming scheme for its models just yet. ChatGPT was introduced to the public with GPT-3.5, and that hints that the company could adopt a main and .5 naming scheme. However, with a GPT-4, the company introduced a Turbo version. So, this new model’s name will remain a mystery until the company launches it, most likely. Since summer is only a few months away, we are certain to get some leaks or rumors as to what GPT-5 will bring to the table. Meanwhile, we can expect improvements in reasoning, contextual understanding, accuracy, speed, etc. That information has not been officially revealed, but those seem like the likely suspects. One source close to the matter said that GPT 5 will be “materially better” than GPT-4. Hopefully, that’s the case, as it’d be rather weird if it was worse. With the launch of GPT-5, one can only wonder what sort of multimodal capabilities will come with it. GPT-4 is able to tap DALL-E to generate images. Well, with Sora set to hit the public at some point in the near future, we wonder if there’s a chance that GPT-5 will be able to generate videos through Sora integration. In any case, we will all have to wait for that information to be revealed. If GPT-5 is going to come in the summer, then we’ll be waiting until late September at the very latest. So, those of us who are excited about this will just have to be patient.
