OpenAI, the renowned artificial intelligence (AI) research laboratory, has announced the upcoming release of a simplified version of its GPT-5 model. This announcement comes as a shift in strategy for OpenAI, which had previously planned to release a separate model known as o3.
According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the company has opted to incorporate o3’s capabilities into the upcoming GPT-5 model. This consolidated offering will provide users with access to the latest advancements in AI through a single, simplified platform. Altman also hinted at the eventual release of GPT-4.5, which will serve as a transitional model before the full rollout of GPT-5.
