OpenAI’s newest artificial intelligence model, GPT-5, is slated for release in early August. GPT-5 will be available in mini and nano versions – lightweight versions that prioritise speed over computing power.

"I put it in the model, this is GPT-5, and it answered it perfectly," Altman said, saying it gave him a "weird feeling" to see the AI model answer a question that he couldn't. GPT-5 has been a highly anticipated release since the launch of GPT-4 in March 2023.

On Thursday, The Verge reported that ChatGPT 5 from OpenAI will be arriving in August. We were already expecting a summer launch, but big models are often subject to delays. So, this is great potential news for fans of the popular AI chatbot, though official details remain scarce.
