It may come as no surprise that OpenAI has plans for a new model— GPT-5. But what promise does it bring?
Sam Altman, in his tweet, gave us a glimpse of what the users would have in store with the model. First, he says that GPT-4.5 will be the last model— Orion (Called internally at OpenAI)— as their final non-chain-of-thought model.
That means GPT5 would do step-by-step reasoning for its logic and have a single stream of thought for its replies. In other words, it will self-reflect on its answer to a certain degree.
But the tweet doesn’t end there. Altman, quite tactfully, also says something that has gone unnoticed. He says, “After that, a top goal for us is to unify o-series models and GPT-series models by creating systems that can use all our tools, know when to think for a long time or not, and generally be useful for a very wide range of tasks.”
That means he wants a singular model that does not pick and choose between its modes and provides a unified experience to the user.
Creating the AGI?
Altman is making true to his promise of creating an AGI system. With the DeepResearch model and other agentic tools slated to come out from the OpenAI lab. It must be an exciting time for him and the tech world.
The industry is witnessing another change. And this time, the scale of this change is nothing short of gigantic.
Is OpenAI going to be the pioneer here as well?
