OpenAI teases GPT-5 launch event set for Thursday
OpenAI has announced a major livestream event for Thursday, August 8 at 10AM PT, strongly hinting at the release of GPT-5. The announcement was made via a cryptic message on X, replacing the “S” in “LIVE5TREAM” with a “5”. Recent signals support this: CEO Sam Altman shared a screenshot referencing “ChatGPT 5”, and the head of applied research expressed excitement about public reaction to GPT-5. Microsoft has also reportedly prepared infrastructure for the model’s launch.
If confirmed, GPT-5 could mark a significant leap in AI capabilities, shaping the next wave of enterprise and consumer AI applications.
