OpenAI has announced plans to release GPT-5 this summer. This new model will integrate key advancements from prior versions, including the multimodal capabilities of GPT-4 and the logical reasoning features from series "o". The company aims to create a single, powerful model that eliminates the need to switch between different versions, as reported by BleepingComputer.

"Our goal is not just to create a new flagship model, but to unify our series into one", said Romen Yue, head of developer relations at OpenAI.

He emphasized that GPT-5 will combine "breakthroughs in reasoning" and "multimodality".

On the Reddit forum, company vice president Jerry Tworek added that GPT-5 will enhance all current model capabilities, making them better and more convenient without the need for switching.

While the exact launch date hasn't been disclosed yet, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously hinted that the release is planned for summer 2025.
