OpenAI has decided to cancel the release of its o3 model and instead integrate its features into the upcoming GPT-5, according to CEO Sam Altman. In a post on X, Altman shared that OpenAI will first roll out GPT-4.5 before launching GPT-5, marking the company’s last “non-chain-of-thought” model.
Why OpenAI Changed Its Plans
Initially, OpenAI had planned to introduce o3 as a standalone AI model, but the company has now chosen to simplify its offerings. Instead of launching multiple separate models, OpenAI will combine o3 into GPT-5, making it available through ChatGPT and its API.
What’s Next for GPT-5?
- GPT-4.5 Comes First – OpenAI will first introduce an upgraded version of GPT-4.
- A More Advanced GPT-5 – The next-generation model will include enhanced reasoning, memory, and language capabilities.
- No More Standalone o3 – All planned updates for o3 will now be a part of GPT-5’s core system.
What This Means for AI Users
By streamlining its AI models, OpenAI aims to offer a more powerful and user-friendly experience without the confusion of multiple releases. With GPT-5 on the horizon, the future of ChatGPT and AI-powered applications looks even more advanced and efficient.
