OpenAI has announced a shift in its release strategy for GPT-5, delaying the launch by several months. CEO Sam Altman revealed the change in plans, stating that the company will first release its reasoning models, o3 and o4-mini, in the coming weeks. This reverses earlier plans to integrate these models directly into GPT-5. The full GPT-5 model is now expected to arrive "in a few months."
Altman cited several reasons for the delay. Integrating all components into a single unified system proved more challenging than initially anticipated. Additionally, the extra development time has revealed the potential to make GPT-5 "much better than we originally thought." Ensuring sufficient computing capacity to meet the expected "unprecedented demand" was also a key factor. The o3 model, in particular, has undergone significant improvements since its internal preview, with Altman stating that "people will be happy" with the advancements.
The o3 and o4-mini models are classified as reasoning models, designed to perform complex thinking tasks. These models have demonstrated stronger performance than conventional language models in areas like coding and mathematics. OpenAI first introduced its o3 model in December 2024, marking a major advancement in complex reasoning tasks, followed by the more affordable and faster o3-mini version in late January 2025. While users will need to wait longer for GPT-5, the upcoming release of o3 and o4-mini promises exciting advancements in AI capabilities.
