According to external reports, OpenAI is expected to release ChatGPT 5 in August. While there was a previous expectation of a summer release, the delay is not surprising given the size of the large model.
While OpenAI has not officially disclosed much information, this news still excites AI enthusiasts. At the same time, rumors, leaks, and speculations about this new model are spreading widely across the internet.
In 2025, OpenAI continues to accelerate its product pace, launching several notable AI tools. The image generation tool launched at the beginning of the year gained rapid popularity, and in April, two inference models, o3 and o4-mini, were released. Subsequently, OpenAI introduced the Operator agent system for web tasks and collaborated with Microsoft on an educational project. Another advanced inference model, o3-pro, has also been unveiled.
According to a report by The Verge, ChatGPT-5 is expected to achieve a significant leap in overall user experience.
Currently, users can switch between GPT-4 and multiple advanced inference models. OpenAI also offers the Sora video generation tool, Operator web execution agent unit, and others. Reports suggest that GPT-5 will integrate these functions into a single platform interface, breaking the fragmented state of tools and building a more powerful and integrated multi-modal AI experience.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman first mentioned GPT-5 in a conversation with host Theo Von on July 23. He expressed high expectations for the new model's impressive performance: "I think 5.0 will be very good." He also shared his personal testing experience that morning: "I entered a question - GPT-5 answered it perfectly."
Altman recently shared a story on platform X that sparked widespread speculation, and it is widely believed to be related to GPT-5 testing.
According to established practice, each major model iteration will bring gradual improvements in core capabilities including code generation and image understanding. GPT-5 is believed to make significant progress in these areas again.
OpenAI researcher Alexander Wei also mentioned this in passing while discussing the company's new achievements in the Mathematical Olympiad: "We will release GPT-5 soon."
In addition, some independent researchers have discovered references to GPT-5 in OpenAI's internal BioSec Benchmark library, further confirming its imminent release.
One of the significant evolutionary trends of ChatGPT models across generations is the expansion of the "context window" - that is, the amount of historical information that the model can retain and recall in a single conversation.
An increasing number of developers and power users want the new model to have greater memory depth and logical consistency, and it is expected that this demand will be positively addressed in GPT-5.
Although many clues about GPT-5 have emerged, OpenAI maintains a very high level of confidentiality and has not released a specific feature list or official beta version. However, if the rumors are true, GPT-5 is likely to truly link image generation, web interaction, text inference, and multiple other AI modules, comprehensively improving the efficiency of human-machine interaction and pushing the "general AI assistant" from vision to reality.
The wave of anticipation triggered by ChatGPT 5 not only stems from the passion of tech enthusiasts for advancements in performance, but also indicates that OpenAI is moving towards a critical stage of AI system integration and platform establishment. This heavyweight model, which will be unveiled soon, is expected to achieve a leap in performance across domains while maintaining ease of use, expanding the actual boundaries of AI applications in education, creation, search, development, and other scenarios.
