OpenAI plans to launch its new GPT-5 AI chatbot

Technology company OpenAI, creator of the popular artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT, plans to launch GPT-5, its improved generative AI tool, mid-year, according to Business Insider.

The newspaper noted Wednesday that OpenAI is still training its GPT-5 chatbot, but that some of the company’s business clients, led by Sam Altman, recently received demonstrations of the latest model.

““It’s really good, significantly better,” a CEO who spoke on condition of anonymity and recently saw a version of GPT-5 told Business Insider.

Before releasing the new model to the public, the AI ​​company will conduct an internal security test and form a “red team,” a process where employees and selected outsiders will challenge the tool in different ways to find problems. before it is available to everyone.

The process in which, for example, is now his hyperrealistic video maker with Sora AI.

A year ago, OpenAI launched GPT-4, the most powerful version released by OpenAI technology, powered by the AI ​​of its partner, Microsoft.

This version, which can respond to both images and text, was introduced almost four months after the company launched ChatGPT, a model powered by GPT-3.5 that also achieved great popularity, as a more advanced and paid version that can be accessed with a ChatGPT subscription Plus for $20 a month.

Last November, the company announced the GPT-4 Turbo and said this model is even more capable, with an “updated knowledge limit until April 2023.” and which can analyze the equivalent of 300 pages of text in one question.

In March 2023, a group of business people from the technology sector, experts and politicians requested in an apocalyptic letter that experiments with very powerful artificial intelligence be suspended for six months because they believe that they “may pose profound risks to society and humanity”. .

“We call on all artificial intelligence laboratories to immediately suspend training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 for at least six months,” The statement said, calling for the intervention of governments to impose this moratorium in the event that the parties involved refuse to temporarily suspend investigations.

One of the biggest competitors to OpenAI chatbots now is Google and its Gemini generative AI.

For its part, Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company founded by several former OpenAI employees, said this Monday that various versions of its new model, Claude 3, They perform as well or better than GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra, the market leading models from OpenAI and Google.
