OpenAI's next foundational and state-of-the-art model, GPT-5, is still on its way after a delay. OpenAI won't tell us the release date for now.

In a conversation with a user on X, OpenAI's researcher Xikun Zhand confirmed that GPT-5 is still coming.

When asked if GPT-5 will be another shockwave for the AI industry, Zhand responded with "we will see" and a wink emoji, which seems to suggest that it could be a really significant update.

Ahead of GPT-5 debut, OpenAI announced ChatGPT Agent, which can think and act, proactively choose from a toolbox of agentic skills to complete tasks for you using its own computer.

ChatGPT Agent is not a new model, but it's also not a direct fine-tune of o3.

"But we do continue the paradigm of teaching tool use through end-to-end RL as done by o3," Xikun Zhand noted in a X post.

"GPT-5 will be different. It is coming," he added.

In addition to GPT-5, OpenAI plans to upgrade Operator and is adding new features to Image Gen model, including a new toggle to select styles.
