OpenAI's highly anticipated GPT-5 is set to launch in July 2025, with CEO Sam Altman confirming this timeline during a podcast in June.

Concerns have been raised about the impact of recent talent migration on GPT-5's development, but experts believe the model's imminent release remains unaffected.

Despite high expectations, some experts remain skeptical about GPT-5 achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) levels, suggesting it may primarily address existing limitations while introducing new challenges.

As the launch approaches, speculation continues about the future of AI development, particularly regarding the anticipated features of GPT-6.

The new model aims to unify OpenAI's various AI systems into a single multimodal platform, enabling it to seamlessly handle text, images, audio, and video.

One of the significant upgrades includes expanded context windows, allowing GPT-5 to process between 1 to 2 million tokens, a substantial increase from the 128,000 tokens limit of GPT-4.

This increase in context length is expected to enhance the model's ability to manage complex tasks and lengthy conversations more effectively.

Key anticipated features also include improved reasoning and planning capabilities, which will help the AI analyze information more holistically and reduce instances of 'hallucinations'.

Moreover, the update is expected to enhance personalization, making interactions with ChatGPT more natural and human-like, akin to features seen in other advanced chatbots.

There is also hope for more third-party integrations, facilitating easier pairing of ChatGPT with various applications and services.

Improvements in image and video generation are anticipated, enhancing ChatGPT's ability to create and understand visual content.

However, the competitive landscape is heating up, with companies like Meta aggressively recruiting talent from OpenAI, leading to a decline in OpenAI's enterprise market share from 50% to 34%.
