   When will OpenAI release GPT-5?

   Earlier this year during Sam Altman’s discussion with Bill Gates, the OpenAI CEO confirmed that they were already working on GPT-5, but did not share any details about the release.

   While OpenAI announced GPT-4 a few months after it launched ChatGPT, the company was reportedly working on the new version for almost two years. If GPT-5 follows a similar timeline, we may see the upcoming large language model sometime in 2025. However, a recent report by Business Insider claims that OpenAI might announce GPT 5 sometime this summer.

   How better will GPT-5 be compared to GPT-4?

   OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that GPT-5 will be a big improvement over the current version and have more parameters compared to the current version. The company also says GPT-5 “will be a state-of-the-art language model that makes it feel like you are communicating with a person rather than a machine.” While GPT-4 can currently process both text and image, OpenAI says the most important areas of progress will be around reasoning ability.

   Will GPT-5 be free?

   Currently, the free version of ChatGPT is powered by GPT-3.5, which is a fairly old model. If you want to use OpenAI’s latest model, you will have to shell out $20 per month. Going by the current trend, it looks like GPT-5 will most likely be locked behind a similar paywall.
