OpenAI is hopeful GPT-5 will compete a little more

OpenAI’s next foundational model is GPT-5, and the AI startup is hoping that the model will compete a little more with rivals.

Speaking at the AI Summit in Mexico, two OpenAI representatives confirmed that GPT-5 is indeed coming and that it’ll be a lot better than the existing OpenAI models.

OpenAI is still working on GPT-5 and doesn’t know how much it will cost, but it doesn’t look like it will be “that” cheap, likely referring to the existing GPT-4 model.

In addition, an OpenAI representative added that they hope to compete a little more with GPT-5 without providing details.

“We hope that with GPT-5 we will be able to compete a little more,” one of the OpenAI representatives said.

It looks like the company is referring to the competition from the new models like Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 4, which do better than GPT in coding.

Based on what I’ve heard, GPT-5 is still expected to ship sometime in the summer, but since we’re talking about OpenAI, plans are always subject to change.

If GPT-5 doesn’t appear to meet the internal performance goals, it may take a little longer to roll out, but for now, July is indeed the target.

OpenAI hints at GPTs upgrade

As I previously reported, OpenAI has plans to upgrade GPTs at some point in the future.

For those unaware, GPTs were unveiled a year ago, and it’s a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more personalized.

At the AI summit, OpenAI suggested that GPTs might soon get better.

“We are always kind of changing the strategy of GPTs and how we can… and how to work and implement these GPTs,” the company said.

“I recommend just starting with ChatGPT because I imagine the world of GPTs is going to change in the coming months.”

In addition to GPTs, OpenAI is working on a better version of Operator (AI Agent), but it’s unclear when it will be rolled out to everyone.
