GPT-5 will be better than its predecessors. The point is that for Openai that is no longer enough

It smells in the environment. GPT-5 is falling. Well, not only is he smells: it is also Sam Altman already shown that He is using it. There are many indications that point to an imminent launch, and it is therefore good time to assess what we expect from this new foundational model and its impact for the industry.

Downward expectations. In general, the sensation of media and analysts coincides: the quality jump that we will see from GPT-4 to GPT-5 will not be much less that we saw between GPT-3 and GPT-4 when the latter He threw himself In March 2023. The reason is simple: climbing (dedicate more computation capacity and more training data) It no longer raises such notable improvements like those raised.

Expected deceleration. That “Founder of AI“It was already expected – engineers knew that this better rhythm was not sustainable – and precisely the rescue came things like modes of reasoning. To make the model “reason” work: That allowed not to respond immediately, and instead the model explores several paths and ends up deciding the best. The problem? If “reasons” it takes longer to answer, and if it takes longer to answer conversing with it it is no longer useful. And that’s where GPT-5 enters.

The off -road model. If we expect something from GPT-5, it is something like “the model to dominate them all.” So far there was a real chaos in OpenAi and its models: we have chatgpt as a unifying layer, but from this chatbot you can choose different models and different ways (reasoning, research, etc). GPT-5 is expected to automatically adapt to user’s needs (although being able to select modes manually does not seem a bad idea for advanced users) and becomes an off-road model that Unify everything.

Better in everything, but maybe not too much. Of course, GPT-5 is expected to represent a sensitive leap in the capacities of this founding model. There are many rumors about what will be especially trained to program and to solve mathematical and even scientific problems.

Advanced reasoning. It is also expected to have an advanced reasoning capacity, and here there may be two psible striking improvements. The first, that the model reasons better but also does it faster and more efficiently. Or that reason better (and slower) but reason as well as now, but at the same time that does not prevent chatting with it in that way. In both cases the result will be the same: more precise and detailed responses.

Deep Think. The second, which perhaps Openai implements the same idea that Google has already implemented in Gemini: a Model “Deep Think” that combines the power of several instances of the same model so that they all reason and end up reaching the best conclusion. This second option, of course, raises the arrival of an even more expensive subscription plan, because this mode of reasoning is very expensive and using it intensively will be oriented only to very specific scenarios in areas such as the scientist or academic.

Agentic. OpenAi already recently presented Your chatgpt agentand GPT-5 is expected to have a key participation in the future of that option. Right now, the agthic capacity of that service is surprising – it takes the control of the browser and you ask you to do something – but also limited (it takes a long time in everything, it is often wrong). With the new foundational model its performance should end up improving in a sensitive way too.

A model of AI that threatens more jobs. THE IMPACT IN THE INDUSTRY It is certainly uncertain, but if these capabilities are really notable, there will be more threatened jobs. GPT-5 could, for example, being a strong candidate to even replace people in customer service and technical support: their ability to talk in real time-and to remember more and more details of users-is very striking in this regard. Sectors such as health, with improvement of diagnostic prelminar, or education adapting more and better to each student, such as They have already profiled with their mode of studyThey are clear candidates to be affected.

After the failure of GPT-4.5, OpenAi needs a total success. A few months ago OpenAi suffered The greatest failure in its history with GPT-4.5a model that cost a lot to launch and did not show really striking improvements. He ended up going back and now he needs GPT-5 to represent a decent (at least) jump.

Keep burning money. The role of GPT-5 is also key to maintaining the good reputation of the company. They live in much of it, and demonstrate the gigantic investment rounds that it has achieved over the last years. In Openai they continue to burn money as if there were no tomorrow, and although it already generates respectable income – it is estimated that will enter 12,000 million dollars In 2025— he is far from profitable.

Fierce competition. The threat is also multiplied against rivals like Google and now also a goal. The first is Your most direct competitor (together with Anthropic) in terms of quality of commercial foundational models. The second has become a real toothache, especially since it has so much money (and generate both thanks to Instagram and Facebook) that does not need external investment and can waste money without apparent problems. For example, stealing talent without stopping.

Please subscribe to chatgpt. Chatgpt’s popularity is undeniable, and today many users associate “AI” with “Chatgpt” when using any of the available models. That has allowed its number of weekly unique users either 700 million “Four times the one who was a year ago,” exceptional growth. Subscriptions, yes, are slower: at this time OpenAI has five million business business users, while the figure was three million in June. He needs many more to deal with his astronomical expenses, and GPT-5 should listen to get it.
