Anticipated features of GPT-5 include improved memory, longer context windows, advanced multimodal inputs, and greater efficiency compared to GPT-4.

The new model is expected to automatically adjust to the required task type without user selection, utilizing various models under the GPT-5 umbrella.

The development of GPT-5 is part of OpenAI's broader ambition to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI), which has significant business implications with Microsoft.

Currently, Microsoft and OpenAI are renegotiating their partnership, particularly regarding revenue rights tied to AGI advancements.

Developers who have tested pre-release versions of GPT-5 report notable enhancements in reasoning, context retention, and multimodal functions.

OpenAI is gearing up to launch its next-generation GPT-5 model in early August 2025, following a series of delays and extensive testing.

The release schedule for GPT-5 has seen multiple shifts, with CEO Sam Altman recently announcing that the model would be available 'soon'.

Industry insiders suggest that OpenAI is in the final stages of preparing GPT-5, which is expected to significantly outperform its predecessor, GPT-4.

Altman has shared insights into GPT-5's capabilities on social media, emphasizing its ability to efficiently answer complex questions.

In addition to GPT-5, OpenAI is preparing to release an open-weight model by the end of July 2025, marking the first such release since GPT-2.

A recent leak indicated that a new reasoning model achieved top performance at the International Math Olympiad, showcasing advancements expected in GPT-5.

Despite the anticipated August launch, OpenAI's release dates may be subject to change due to development challenges or competitive pressures from rival AI announcements.
