As a tech enthusiast, I’ve been buzzing with excitement ever since the buzz about GPT-5 started circulating! OpenAI has been hyping it up as the smartest AI model out there, even comparing it to a whole team of PhD-level experts. And now, it’s finally here!
With its launch, we’re not just getting a tool, but a powerhouse packed with next-gen features. Whether you’re into coding, writing, or medicine, GPT-5 has got you covered across a broad spectrum of categories. It’s like having a team of experts right at your fingertips!
In simpler terms, Sam Altman, who leads the company responsible for creating ChatGPT, had earlier predicted that technology more intelligent than any human expert will soon fit in your pocket, possibly indicating GPT-5. However, after the launch of this new model, OpenAI, the AI firm, faced criticism from users due to certain decisions, such as discontinuing the older models.
The user expressed regret, stating that the experience with ChatGPT has significantly deteriorated due to numerous bugs, glitches, and unresponsiveness. However, there’s some good news as Sam Altman recently announced updates concerning GPT-5’s release. For ChatGPT Plus subscribers, the rate limits for GPT-5 will be doubled, they will continue to have access to GPT-40, and there will be increased transparency about which model is being used to answer queries.
As an analyst, I’m excited to announce some updates regarding GPT-5:
1. For our valued ChatGPT Plus users, we are doubling the rate limits of GPT-5, effective immediately as we complete the rollout. This means you can interact with our model more frequently!
2. We will continue to offer the current 4o model for those who prefer it. However, we encourage everyone to explore and experience the enhanced capabilities of GPT-5.
3. As we monitor usage patterns, we’re considering how long to maintain legacy models alongside our new and improved GPT-5. Stay tuned for more updates!
4. A significant enhancement will be introduced in GPT-5 starting August 8, 2025, making it appear even smarter than before. We can’t wait for you to see it!
The executive blamed the poor initial performance of the model on a malfunctioning autoswitcher in GPT-5, which gave the impression that the model was less intelligent. Although OpenAI claims to have resolved the issue, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates may have foreseen GPT-5’s current struggles 2 years ago, even before its creation as reported by The Indian Express.
Sam Altman had confidently asserted, with a high level of scientific assurance, that the upcoming GPT-5 would outsmart its predecessor GPT-4. However, he later acknowledged that this development, while not ideal, was somewhat underwhelming and at best, a source of mild embarrassment.
In an interview with the German business newspaper Handelsblatt last October, Bill Gates expressed his view that the current state of GPT technology had plateaued, contrary to the general belief among OpenAI’s team, including Sam Altman, who anticipate that GPT-5 would be substantially more advanced than GPT-4.
The philanthropist billionaire finds the advancement from GPT-2 to GPT-4 astonishing but expresses his doubts openly, wondering if OpenAI can produce similar outcomes in the development of GPT-5.
In line with his statements, numerous users have voiced their discontent towards GPT-5, claiming it offers only minor enhancements compared to GPT-4. According to predictions made by Gatesa, advancement in the field of generative AI seems to have stagnated with GPT-4, implying that OpenAI might have reached a limit in the evolution of their GPT technology.
On the other hand, he pointed out that advancements in research might propel AI to greater achievements, enhancing its dependability and boosting health consultations through smart devices. Additionally, he mentioned that AI necessitates substantial financial resources and computational power for operation.
Training a large language model is quite costly, initially setting you back around ten cents per question. Nowadays, it’s likely closer to three cents. However, the expenses associated with computational power and semiconductors continue to be astronomical.
Reports of OpenAI hitting a wall in AI development are not new
In the previous year, there was news suggesting that leading AI research facilities, such as OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, were facing difficulties in creating sophisticated AI models. These challenges were primarily blamed on insufficient high-quality data for model training and the steep expenses associated with keeping up with the hype surrounding AI technology. The article also hinted that the postponement of next-generation models was linked to these very issues.
As a researcher, I must clarify some misconceptions about the limits of AI model training. Contrary to certain claims, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has emphasized that we haven’t encountered a proverbial “wall” in our endeavors. This implies that our AI firm is not yet constrained by a cap on the knowledge required for training models. Similarly, Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, seems to share this perspective, stating that there is currently no concrete evidence suggesting that scaling laws have plateaued or stopped.
Over the next five years, you can expect these large models to be progressively improved, showing an extraordinary growth rate without any signs of slowing down as of now. However, it is expected that this growth will eventually plateau, but that point has not been reached yet.
It would be intriguing to find out if OpenAI’s GPT-5 can meet the expectations set by its hype, and if they will effectively tackle the concerns raised by some users regarding the technology. What are your thoughts on the possibility of OpenAI’s GPT reaching a plateau? Share your insights in the comments below.
