OpenAI is preparing for the launch of its highly anticipated next-generation AI model, GPT-5. Recent statements from the company's CEO, Sam Altman, and leaked information suggest the model could be available as early as August.
Following the development, the WLD price experienced volatility due to Sam Altman being the CEO of OpenAI and also the founder of Worldcoin (WLD).
While Microsoft engineers began preparing the server infrastructure for GPT-5 in the first months of the year, the model's release was postponed until August following various tests and delays. Altman made noteworthy remarks about GPT-5's capabilities in a podcast. He stated that he was struggling to answer a question, and he posed it to GPT-5, which the model responded perfectly. “I felt unnecessary,” Altman said, noting that AI's ability to access information surpasses human capabilities.
While not yet officially unveiled, some features of GPT-5 have leaked to the public. OpenAI will reportedly offer “mini” and “nano” versions of the new model via API. GPT-5 will also reportedly incorporate OpenAI's previously introduced advanced reasoning capabilities, called o3. Altman stated that this integration is part of the company's goal of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI).
However, OpenAI's planned release dates have varied in the past for various reasons. These dates can be affected by technical challenges encountered during the development process, server capacity, and model announcements from competing companies. Indeed, OpenAI announced that its open language model, originally expected to be released this month, was delayed due to security testing.
