According to information obtained by The Verge from a person familiar with OpenAI's internal information, the company plans to release a new LLM, 'GPT-5,' as early as August 2025. GPT-5 is not a single AI model, but will be positioned as an AI system that can incorporate different models to perform various functions, The Verge reports.

In addition, OpenAI has been struggling with the development of GPT-5, and in December 2024 it was pointed out that it was facing numerous problems in development and rising costs.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that GPT-5 will be released in a few months as of February 2025. He also described GPT-5 as a 'model that integrates multiple technologies, including o3 .'

In addition, on July 24, 2025, he appeared on Theo Von 's YouTube channel and demonstrated some of the functions of GPT-5. In the GPT-5 demo, CEO Altman had GPT-5 solve a problem that he could not understand, and said, 'This is GPT-5. GPT-5 answered perfectly.'

GPT-5 will be available in multiple variants, with GPT-5 mini and GPT-5 nano being made available via API.

OpenAI plans to build AI systems that can handle a variety of tasks using all available tools, and ultimately aims to integrate the o series of inference AI models with the GPT series of language models. The incorporation of o3's inference capabilities into GPT-5 is part of this larger integration, which will ultimately lead to the path to general artificial intelligence (AGI), The Verge noted.

The Verge reports that 'GPT-5 is likely to debut in early August, but OpenAI's planned release date frequently changes depending on development challenges, server capacity issues, and even the announcement or leak of competing AI models.'

On July 19, 2025, CEO Altman announced that 'OpenAI's model under development has recorded a score equivalent to a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad,' and revealed that 'GPT-5 is scheduled to be released soon.'
