On Thursday, The Verge reported that ChatGPT 5 from OpenAI will be arriving in August. We were already expecting a summer launch, but big models are often subject to delays. So, this is great potential news for fans of the popular AI chatbot, though official details remain scarce.

Artificial intelligence pioneer OpenAI plans to launch its GPT-5 model as early as August, The Verge reported on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the plans.

"I put it in the model, this is GPT-5, and it answered it perfectly," Altman said, saying it gave him a "weird feeling" to see the AI model answer a question that he couldn't. GPT-5 has been a highly anticipated release since the launch of GPT-4 in March 2023.
