OpenAI postpones its o3 AI model in favor of a ‘unified’ next-gen release


OpenAI has effectively canceled o3, which was slated to be its next major AI model release, in favor of what CEO Sam Altman is calling a 'simplified' product offering.

Altman also announced that OpenAI plans to offer unlimited chat access to GPT-5 at the “standard intelligence setting,” subject to “abuse thresholds,” once the model is generally available. “These models will incorporate voice, canvas, search, deep research, and more,” Altman said, referring to a range of features OpenAI has launched in ChatGPT over the past few months. “[A] top goal for us is to unify [our] 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.”
