Sam Altman Unveils OpenAI's Bold GPT-5 Plan

In a significant move, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has shared plans for GPT-5, aiming to integrate the company's tech into one system. Announced via X, this shift will see GPT-4.5 as the last traditional model before introducing "magic unified intelligence."

GPT-5 will combine OpenAI's o3 reasoning, voice capabilities, and research features, phasing out the "model picker." Free users will enjoy unlimited standard access, with premium users accessing higher intelligence levels.

Despite earlier development hiccups with Orion (now GPT-4.5), Altman's strategy reimagines AI as seamlessly integrated into daily life, potentially pushing towards AGI. The tech world watches eagerly as OpenAI bets on simplifying and enhancing AI interaction.
