OpenAI has unveiled GPT-5, its long-awaited update to its flagship artificial model that powers ChatGPT, which chief Sam Altman hailed as a “major upgrade” and a significant step to artificial general intelligence.
The $300bn company on Thursday said the next-generation model was “state of the art” on several independent industry benchmarks in areas such as mathematics, science and coding. It will be available to all consumers through ChatGPT, with limits for free users.
The release comes almost two-and-a-half years after the company unveiled GPT-4, which delivered a significant leap in capabilities, and investors and users have been eagerly awaiting the San Francisco-based group’s next model.
