OpenAI is gearing up to introduce its much-awaited GPT-5 model. While CEO Sam Altman has been hinting at a potential early launch, no reports suggest that the new LLM from OpenAI could arrive as early as August 2025. Reportedly, the new model will be launched along with nano and mini versions and API access for developers.
The upcoming AI model has been in the making for a long time and has been delayed multiple times. In February this year, the company introduced GPT-4.5 Orion to ChatGPT Pro users. While the company has launched a number of AI models, the launch of GPT-5 has been repeatedly changed owing to safety tests and refinements.
On July 19, when OpenAI’s experimental reasoning LLM achieved a gold medal-level performance in the International Math Olympiad, CEO Sam Altman took to his X account to share the news. While lauding the company’s efforts, he also said that they would be launching GPT-5 soon. Describing the model, Altman said that it was an experimental model that incorporates new research techniques that the company will be using in its future models. “We think you will love GPT-5, but we don’t plan to release a model with IMO gold-level capability for many months,” he wrote.
we achieved gold medal level performance on the 2025 IMO competition with a general-purpose reasoning system! to emphasize, this is an LLM doing math and not a specific formal math system; it is part of our main push towards general intelligence.

Murmurs around GPT-5 were heard earlier this month after ‘GPT-5 Reasoning Alpha’ appeared in the configuration file as shared on X by Tibor Blaho, an engineer. While earlier, Altman had said that GPT-5 will be arriving in Summer 2025, newer reports now suggest that the model will be arriving next month.
When it comes to features, GPT-5 is expected to be a significant leap from its predecessors and would come with unified multimodal capabilities that would integrate text, audio, image, and video processing—all of this into one architecture. The model is also reported to feature advanced reasoning capabilities with hybrid architecture for enhanced logical reasoning and problem-solving. The context window is expected to be extended beyond one million tokens in contrast to GPT-4’s 128,000 tokens. Other expected features include native Sora integration and advanced Canvas tools. GPT-5 will also be working towards reducing hallucinations substantially. And, this reportedly will be achieved by implementing a chain of thought (CoT) mechanism.
