OpenAI has unveiled GPT-5, the latest fifth-generation version of the artificial intelligence model behind ChatGPT. The update comes more than two years after the debut of GPT-4 in March 2023, following a period of intense global competition among AI developers. The launch coincided with rival Anthropic unveiling a new version of its chatbot, Claude, and Google advancing its own AI tools. Microsoft, a longtime collaborator with OpenAI, has announced its intention to incorporate GPT-5 into its Copilot assistant. Company executives described the model as a pivotal step toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), a technology expected to surpass human capabilities in economically valuable work. According to OpenAI, GPT-5 delivers safety improvements to limit deceptive outputs and prevent harmful responses to sophisticated prompts. Benchmark tests indicated “modest but significant” gains over GPT-4, while experts noted structural changes that could enable future innovations.
The technology is now accessible with usage limits to free ChatGPT account holders, with early demonstrations focusing on coding capabilities, a sector where Anthropic has been competitive. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman emphasized the model’s ability to provide expert-level knowledge across diverse domains while also stressing advancements in reliability and user safety. The release comes as OpenAI seeks substantial investment to cover the escalating costs of advanced chips and data centers. The company, valued at $300 billion, has faced structural and legal challenges, including regulatory oversight and litigation from co-founder Elon Musk. Financial analysts from JPMorgan Chase described OpenAI as a bellwether for the AI industry, cautioning that the sector’s rapidly eroding competitive advantage could push firms toward lowering AI product prices. The move to convert into a public benefit corporation aims to balance shareholder returns with OpenAI’s stated mission, reflecting the growing tension between innovation, profitability, and public accountability.
