What is ChatGPT 5?
ChatGPT-5 is the latest version of ChatGPT — the large language model (LLM) that captivated the world and brought artificial intelligence (AI) into the mainstream when it launched in November 2022.

It has led to an indescribable change in enterprises, small businesses, and personal lives — the always-on chatbot that can intelligently and quickly generate text, answer questions, and even generate code in various programming languages.

ChatGPT 5, underpinned by the GPT-5 AI model, promises to improve on GPT-4’s capabilities, acting as the bridge between human and machine communication.

As a generative pre-trained transformer, it is designed to enhance interaction by delivering more personalized and accurate responses and promises to handle a broader array of content, potentially including video. This indicates that ChatGPT 5’s capabilities will be head and shoulders above GPT-4’s.

There is also speculation that an OpenAI project known as ‘Strawberry‘ will play a critical role in enabling GPT-5. According to Reuters, Strawberry will be able to autonomously navigate the Internet and conduct “deep research.” The model would offer improved reasoning and the ability to manage complex tasks independently.

When is ChatGPT 5 Coming Out?
Expected Release: Fall 2024
While OpenAI has not set a definitive ChatGPT 5 release date, there is increasing speculation that it could be launched as soon as Fall 2024, though there’s little ChatGPT 5 news as of September 2024.
Initially, rumors circled about a release in Summer 2024, following a trail of hints shared by OpenAI executives who openly post updates about their AI models’ ongoing development and refinement.
