After previously announcing the launch of a new version of the GPT-5 large-scale natural language model, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed earlier that GPT-5 will include the recently launched o3 artificial intelligence model, which will also be open to all users free of charge.
Sam Altman said that the future development direction of artificial intelligence models will be towards a form that allows the system to decide which model to use by itself, without the need for users to manually select it as currently. Therefore, the next update to the GPT-4.5 large natural language model to be launched will be OpenAI's last non-chain thinking model.
According to Sam Altman, when GPT-5 is integrated with the o3 artificial intelligence model, it will be able to automatically switch according to the content of the user's questions. For example, when higher reasoning ability is required, GPT-5 will be used for deep thinking, while for simple and easy-to-answer questions, the o3 model will be used to generate answers faster.
This means that in future developments, users will no longer have to manually select different model versions as in the current usage model, and will be able to easily use artificial intelligence services to find answers.
On the other hand, Sam Altman also stated that in the current model development plan, the o3 model will not be likeo3-miniIt is not provided in a standalone form, but is integrated into the GPT-5 model. It also plans to open unlimited access to GPT-5 to all users under standard settings, but also emphasizes that there will be restrictions to prevent abuse. Paid users can choose to use GPT-5 at a higher level of intelligence.
However, Sam Altman did not disclose the expected launch time of GPT-4.5 and GPT-5, only revealing that they will be launched in the next few weeks or months.
OPENAI ROADMAP UPDATE FOR GPT-4.5 and GPT-5:
We want to do a better job of sharing our intended roadmap, and a much better job simplifying our product offerings.
We want AI to “just work” for you; we realize how complicated our model and product offerings have gotten.
We hate…
