OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed the rumored development status of GPT-5, the upcoming version of the highly popular GPT series. Since the release of the GPT-based ChatGPT chatbot, the language model has become the fastest-adopted technology in recent times.

GPT-3, the earlier version of the language model released on November 30, 2022, was considered an effective achievement in natural language processing and artificial intelligence. GPT-3 is often used in various applications such as chatbots, language translation and content creation.

During a discussion at the MIT event, Altman said that work on GPT-5 has not yet begun. he said, “I think we’re at the end of the era where it’s going to be these huge models, and we’re going to improve them in other ways.” As the capabilities and accuracy of such technologies increase, so must the safety measures. he then explained How people are more focused on the next iteration and larger numbers of parameters like the gigahertz race in the 90s and 2000s.

OpenAI has just released GPT-4 on March 14, 2023. The capabilities of this new generation have yet to be fully understood and exploited before spotlighting the next generation. Right now, OpenAI is focused on expanding GPT-4’s capabilities, especially the safety measures, and patching bugs for which they are offering a $20,000 cash reward.
