OpenAI’s most capable AI model, GPT-5, may be coming in August


Sources say new model combines o3 reasoning with general GPT capabilities.

According to The Verge's Tom Warren, Microsoft engineers began preparing server capacity for GPT-5 as early as late May, but testing and development challenges pushed the timeline back. During an appearance on Theo Von's podcast this week, Altman demonstrated the model's capabilities by having it answer a question he couldn't. "We're truly excited to not just make a net new great frontier model, we're also going to unify our two series," OpenAI's Head of Developer Experience Romain Huet said at a recent event.
