OpenAI is one of the top-notch performers in artificial intelligence technology. It is a major contributor to the development of AI technology and AI services. Every year OpenAI makes novel innovations and features that can reinvent the entire arena. OpenAI has brought many updates in ChatGPT in 2024, but the latest news coming from them is not a jovial one.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed on Thursday that their latest version of ChatGPT-5 will not come out later this year. He announced this via Reddit AMA. Altman said that they have some very good releases coming later this year and nothing will be called GPT-5.
Instead of releasing the updated ChatGPT-5, OpenAI focuses on delivering the GPT-o1 which is codenamed ‘Project Strawberry’. There was a rumor regarding the release of ChatGPT-5 that it will arrive in 2024, but the company has come forward and denied all the rumors of the GPT-5 release.
OpenAI in 2024
OpenAI has brought so many changes and updates to ChatGPT. Even though the latest version is not going to be released this year, 2024 was not a bad year in the history of OpenAI and ChatGPT. Making the interface more user-friendly, enabling the search option in the chat history, rolling out the web search option, etc are the major developments that happened in ChatGPT in 2024.
We can’t see the advanced and enhanced version of ChatGPT this year. Users need to wait patiently to experience ChatGPT-5. The delivery and shipping of their latest project called Project Strawberry(GPT-o1) will be the top priority of OpenAI this year. This model is exclusively designed to spend enough time to think before making any responses. It processes the conversations deeply and responds according to the deep analysis rather than providing information in a millisecond. This version is capable of solving complex problems and tougher tasks. So OpenAI considers focusing on GPT-o1 would be better than rushing the release of ChatGPT-5.
What Causes the Delay of ChatGPT-5?
Their previous version of ChatGPT-4 was released in March 2023. Many of them expected the latest version will be released in 2024. But the launch is most likely in 2025. There could be multiple reasons behind the delay, some of them might be the following ones.
Giving adequate time to the GPT-o1 is the main reason behind the detainment of the latest version of ChatGPT. According to Sam Altman, OpenAI is planning to bring so many AI agents this year. These agents had gotten quite complex and they will not be able to ship as many agents in the limited period. These agents will be capable enough to perform the tasks independently and they can interact with the world without human requirement.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has stated that the company is facing hard decisions and limitations in the allocation of computer resources toward great ideas. The limitations in the distribution of computational resources and technology services play a major role in the hindrance of ChatGPT-5’s 2024 release.
ChatGPT-5 in 2025?
There is no official confirmation about the release of ChatGPT-5 is available at the moment. Due to the availability of enough resources and limitations regarding the distribution of technology, OpenAI is facing problematic scenarios. So the release date is uncertain. OpenAI is capable enough to solve these issues and can bring suitable alternative plans according to the situation. So we can expect the release of the latest version in 2025 itself. It is not confirmed and is subject to change if any further complications and problems arise along the journey.
