OpenAI’s GPT-5 Shines in Coding Tasks

GPT-5 is almost here, and we’re hearing good things. The early reaction from at least one person who’s used the unreleased version was extremely positive.

That’s good news for OpenAI. The ChatGPT creator has been under pressure to show major gains from its next big artificial intelligence model since we first broke the news last November that it had seen diminishing returns from using more computational resources and data during “pretraining.” That’s part of the initial process of developing a model, when it processes tons of data from the web and other sources so it can learn the relationships between different concepts. 

OpenAI hasn’t specified when GPT-5 will be released inside ChatGPT and for app developer customers. But CEO Sam Altman has started publicly discussing how much he’s enjoying using the unreleased version. 

The model aims to fulfill Altman’s plan of integrating traditional “GPT”-branded large language models with the company’s “o” line of reasoning models into one model or chat interface, according to a person who has used it.
