San Francisco-based OpenAI hinted as much in an all-caps post on X that read: “LIVE5TREAM THURSDAY 10 AM PT.” While there appeared to be a typo in the first word of that announcement, many of those who posted comments got the hint that the misplaced “5” could be about GPT-5.
In a subsequent post on his personal X account, CEO Sam Altman did not address the speculation on GPT-5’s release, but said the live-streaming session would be “longer than usual, around an hour”.
“We have a lot to show and hope you can find the time to watch!” he added.
The potential launch this week of GPT-5 – the latest iteration of the technology behind generative AI chatbot ChatGPT – would reflect a strong effort by OpenAI to finally release the product upgrade in the global market of large language models (LLMs), considering that GPT-4 was released in March 2023.
In the meantime, open-source models from Chinese start-ups like DeepSeek and MoonshotAI, along with those from mainland Big Tech firms led by Alibaba Group Holding, have seen increased adoption in the industry on the back of their low-cost appeal and innovative features. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.
