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.

Artificial intelligence pioneer OpenAI plans to launch its GPT-5 model as early as August, The Verge reported on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the plans.
