Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has announced a change in the company’s plans for its next major language model, GPT-5. The delay follows high demand for the recently launched native image generation feature in OpenAI’s latest base models, o3 and o4-mini. These smaller models are expected to be released in the coming weeks, according to Altman. 04-mini was specifically designed to process complex tasks with its human-like reasoning capabilities, making it better suited for coding, math, and problem-solving scenarios. GPT-5 will combine these advanced features into a unified model, aiming to provide a comprehensive solution for diverse tasks and potentially surpassing the limitations of previous models.
