The wait for GPT-5, the new great language model of OpenAi, is becoming particularly long. And it is normal, of course, first because with him a cadence of launches has been broken that people took sure. Moreover, we take into account that the technological itself has had to confirm on several occasions that it was forced to delay its launch. And, last but not least, for the enormous amount of expectations that have been generated around this great evolution of the reference model.
Now, however, It seems that the countdown is close to finishing. As Jason Kwon, Chief Strategy Openai, has confirmed GPT-5, is already “close to completing”, which points to an imminent release. Kwon has not specified a specific date, but has pointed out that the new model will exceed GPT-4 in terms of reasoning, coding and general intelligence. This type of statements reinforces the generalized enthusiasm, although it also reopens old debates on what extent OpenAi is right in its communication strategy when it comes to modulating the expectations it generates.
And we cannot forget that The launch of GPT-4 already left a bittersweet aftertaste in some sectors. Although it was a significant advance against GPT-3.5, there were those who expected a more marked revolution, especially because the jump occurred at a time when generative artificial intelligence was already in full boiling. With GPT-5, OpenAI promises a clear improvement in areas such as contextual reasoning, the capacity to execute complex instructions and improvements in its multimodal functioning, that is, the combined use of text, image, sound and perhaps video, in the same conversational flow.
The challenges to get it are not minor. Training a model like GPT-5 implies huge computational resourcesextreme supervision in the alignment process for Avoid unwanted biases or behaviorsand an architecture that not only offers performance, but also energy efficiency and long -term viability. It is here that the debate on the sustainability of large language models, which require more and more data, more energy and more ethical and regulatory controls.
To this is added An expectations management that has resulted, as little, irregular. From the first rumors about GPT-5, in the middle of last year, to the confirmations of delays by Sam Altman and other executives of Openai, there has been a constant dripping of promises, denials and leaks that have contributed more to the noise than to a clear communication. This strategy, voluntary or not, has put even more pressure on a launch that, if it does not respond to the very high expectations, could be perceived as a disappointment.
Even so, The arrival of GPT-5 could be a new leap in the capabilities of intelligent attendeesbusiness developments and specialized solutions. Its impact will be especially visible on tools such as ChatGPT, but also in integrated Microsoft products and others, on software development, design, or even autonomous systems that require advanced reasoning. We will have to see, yes, how access is raised, both in deadlines and limits.
For now, all we can do is keep waiting. Although it seems that, from this point, the wait will be brief, the truth is that the doubts that fly over this launch are also more numerous. Will GPT-5 be the qualitative leap that many have long since yearning? Or will we find a continuous, powerful evolution but without great surprises? In any case, what is clear is that the history of the great language models does not stop, and that each new chapter is loaded with expectations, promises and a good dose of technological vertigo.
