OpenAI’s ChatGPT 5 is set to arrive soon, bringing with it a whole range of new features. Cryptic teasers for OpenAI’s upcoming model continue to fuel anticipation on the digital grapevine, with speculation about the features, advancements, and release of GPT-5 going into overdrive. Consider the stage officially set for a massive AI upgrade this summer.

What is ChatGPT 5?

ChatGPT-5 is the latest version of ChatGPT — the large language model (LLM) that captivated the world and brought artificial intelligence (AI) into the mainstream when it launched in November 2022.

It has led to an indescribable change in enterprises, small businesses, and personal lives —the always-on chatbot that can intelligently and quickly generate text, answer questions, and even generate code in various programming languages. ChatGPT 5, underpinned by the GPT-5 AI model, promises to improve the capabilities of GPT-4. As a generative pre-trained transformer, it is designed to enhance interaction by delivering more personalized and accurate responses and promises to handle a broader array of content, potentially including video.

OpenAI has described GPT-5 as the bridge between human and machine communication.

When is ChatGPT 5 Coming Out?

Expected Release: Summer 2024 While OpenAI has not set a definitive ChatGPT 5 release date, there is increasing speculation that it could be launched as soon as the summer of 2024. These rumors can be traced back to the trail of hints shared by OpenAI executives who openly post updates about their AI models’ ongoing development and refinement. There are also murmurs of an intermediate version, GPT-4.5, preceding the full GPT-5 release, featuring improved performance and larger context windows.

What Will ChatGPT 5 Price?

If OpenAI sticks to the playbook, we expect ChatGPT 5 to arrive in two flavors: a free-to-use model and a monthly subscription model that expands the capabilities. After all, the company — even if its original stated aim was “AI to benefit humanity” — needs to monetize its technology somehow.

How different will GPT-5 be?

One thing we might see with GPT-5, particularly in ChatGPT, is OpenAI following Google with Gemini and giving it internet access by default. This would remove the problem of data cutoff where it only knows as up-to-date as its training ending date.

Expanded multimodality will also likely mean interacting with GPT-5 by voice, video or speech becomes the default rather than an extra option. This would make it easier for OpenAI to turn ChatGPT into a smart assistant like Siri or Google Gemini.

Finally, we think the context window will be much larger than is currently the case. It is currently about 128,000 tokens — which is how much of the conversation it can store in its memory before it forgets what you said at the start of a chat. We’re already seeing some models such as Gemini Pro 1.5 with a million-plus context window and these larger context windows are essential for video analysis due to the increased data points from a video compared to simple text or a still image.
