Generative Pre-trained Transformer 5 (GPT-5) is an unreleased multimodal large language model created by OpenAI, expected to be the fifth in its series of the OpenAI GPT foundation models. On July 18, 2023, OpenAI filed for the trademark “GPT-5” for classes 9 and 42.

Background

OpenAI introduced the first GPT model (GPT-1) in 2018, publishing a paper called Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-Training.^[1] It was based on the transformer architecture and trained on a large corpus of books.^[2] In 2019, they introduced GPT-2, a larger model that could generate coherent text.^[3]

In 2020, they introduced GPT-3, a model with 100 times as many parameters as GPT-2, that could perform various tasks with few examples.^[4] GPT-3 was further improved into InstructGPT, which was used to create the chatbot product ChatGPT. ChatGPT now uses GPT-3.5 for free users and GPT-4, which was released on March 14, 2023, for Plus users.

GPT-4 partially or fully powers many applications, including but not limited to Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Snapchat, Khan Academy, and Duolingo.^[5]

Timeline

3/8/2023: OpenAI releases GPT-4, its most powerful language model to date.

April 14, 2023: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman speaks at an event at MIT and confirms that the company is not currently training GPT-5. He says that OpenAI is "prioritizing GPT-4 development" and that "we are not and won't for some time" release GPT-5.^[6]

July 18, 2023: OpenAI filed for the Trademark GPT-5 for classes 9 and 42. UPSTO serial number 98089548.^[7]^[8]^[9]

November 13, 2023: Altman told the Financial Times that the company is now working to develop GPT-5^[10]^[11]

Release date

There is no official release date for GPT-5 yet. Some sources suggested a release as early as 2023, but GPT-5 did not release that year.^[12]^[13] A release in 2025 or later has also been speculated.^[14]^[15]^[16]

Features

GPT-5 is expected to be a major improvement over GPT-4. Here is some information about the features of GPT-5:

Architecture

GPT-5 may use an advanced architecture that allows it to process and generate language more efficiently and accurately than previous versions. This architecture may include graph neural networks and attention mechanisms, which help the model to better understand the relationships between words and phrases.^[17]

Artificial General Intelligence

GPT-5 may be able to achieve artificial general intelligence, the hypothetical level of intelligence which OpenAI defines as the ability to perform any economically valuable task that a human can. Some reports claimed that OpenAI expected GPT-5 to achieve AGI by the end of 2023.^[18]

Challenges

Negative reputation

GPT-5 may face pushback from the tech community and the public, as some people fear the potential dangers and ethical issues of AI. Some notable personalities, such as Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, have warned about the risks of AI and called for a pause on training models more advanced than GPT-4. They also suggested that tech giants should cooperate rather than compete in the AI field.^[19]

Limited availability

GPT-5 may not be available to everyone, as OpenAI may limit its access to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and Bing Chat beta testers, which they have already done with GPT-4.^[20]
