OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently announced a major update to GPT-4.5 and GPT-5, heralding a new chapter in the field of artificial intelligence. GPT-5 will be released in the next few months and will integrate multiple OpenAI technologies for application in ChatGPT and API. It is worth noting that the free version of ChatGPT users will be able to use GPT-5 without restrictions, which will give more users the opportunity to experience the latest AI technology.
According to Altman, OpenAI plans to launch the GPT-5 model in the next few months. This new version will integrate multiple OpenAI technologies including o3 and will be used in ChatGPT and API. It is worth noting that the free version of ChatGPT users will be able to use GPT-5 to conduct conversations without restrictions under standard smart settings, although the specific usage restrictions, namely the standard for abuse thresholds, Altman did not disclose in detail. This means that even non-subscribers will have the opportunity to experience OpenAI's latest AI technology without paying extra.
For Plus and Pro subscribers, they will be able to enjoy smarter GPT-5 features, including but not limited to voice, canvas, search, and in-depth research. The addition of these functions will undoubtedly further improve the user's experience and usage efficiency.
In addition, Altman also revealed information about GPT-4.5. He said that GPT-4.5 is called the Orion model internally, and emphasized that this will be the last non-chain thinking model launched by OpenAI. This information undoubtedly provides important clues to the future development path of OpenAI.
Looking back at the development history of OpenAI, since the release of the initial version of the GPT model in 2018, the company has always adhered to the GPT route and continuously launched new versions.
In March 2023, GPT-4 officially debuted, and GPT-4Turbo was also launched at the first OpenAI developer conference in November of the same year. Compared with GPT-4, GPT-4Turbo has improved in many aspects, including context dialogue length, knowledge base updates, multimodal APIs, and price and limitations.
The release trailer of GPT-5 and GPT-4.5 once again demonstrates OpenAI's innovative capabilities and leading position in the field of artificial intelligence.
The release of GPT-5 and the details of GPT-4.5 mark OpenAI's continuous breakthrough in the research and development of large-scale language models, and also indicates that AI technology will be more popular and powerful in the future, bringing users a more convenient and intelligent experience. OpenAI's continuous innovation is worth looking forward to.
