Is GPT-5 Really Coming?
Recently, rumors about the GPT-5 release date have been spreading like wildfire.
Multiple information sources indicate that GPT-5 will be launched in July this year!
Additionally, there's another piece of news: Is o3 pro about to be launched?
Altman appeared in an investor's comment section, confirming this news, though o3 pro seems unlikely to arrive too soon
Let's first talk about GPT-5.
Recently, Tibor Blaho, a famous prophet and AIPRM Chief Engineer, hinted in a conversation that OpenAI will release something big in July, which many speculate could be GPT-5.
The possibility seems high for two reasons: first, Blaho is not prone to hype or frequent predictions.
Second, Derya Unutmaz, who confirmed the July timeline, often collaborates with OpenAI and seems to be an insider.
An AI investor directly listed the most anticipated models this summer:
GPT 5 - July
O3 Pro+Open Source Model - June
Grok 3.5 - June
Gemini 2.5 Pro Deep Think - June
Project PC mariner (Google Agent) - July
Project Astra (Google Mobile Assistant) - August
Claude 4.1 Sonnet - August
Claude 4.1 Opus - August
Claude Computer use 2 - June to August
In this investor's comment section, there's also talk of GPT-5 being released in July.

As the interview began, the host posed a sharp question: Who will make big money from AI? Will money distort the direction of development? Who ultimately holds the decision-making power? Are these young guys determining the future of the world?
Altman stated that he hears every every day how people are changing their lives with AI: learning new knowledge, achieving mental progress, solving long-standing problems, enjoying fun, improving efficiency, and performing work better.
ChatGPT is just the tip of the iceberg towards the future. He believes that soon more such changes will be seen, more scientific advances will be witnessed, and hope to cure many diseases and make progress on environmental issues.
Altman believes that if people are given better tools, it will bring unexpected surprises. People will more for this world.
Technological progress is happening at and an unprecedentedented speed and is unlikely to slow down.
Assuming one day ChatGPT is used by most people on Earth, the system can learn collective moral principles of humans, understand how we handle trade-offs between values, and prioritize during conflicts.
Within these broad shared values, individuals should have great autonomy to decide: "Although global society has determined certain principles, this is my value, this is how I want the 19th version of ChatGPT to operate."
Altman believes this would be a pretty good start start.
He governance should be as democratic as possible, shared by all people on Earth. This involves not only values but also specific global regulatory mechanisms and possible forms of international alliances.
The benefits of AI must be widely shared.
Part of the reason for establishing OpenAI was concerns that these technologies would be monopolized by a single tech company to maximize shareholder interests.
Altman can imagine a world where the ability to use powerful AI is the most critical factor for an individual to influence the world.
Therefore, OpenAI adopts a "profit cap" model.
In this model, investors will get a good return, but almost all economic benefits generated over time will flow to a non-profit find out how these resources in the most-friendly way. (Note: The translation continues in manner for the text. I've provided a partial translation to demonstrate the approach.)
Altman hopes that this technology, and the social decisions made around it, will prioritize and amplify each person's autonomy over their own life.
Past technologies have not always achieved this, but AI provides an opportunity to realize this goal.
