There was a time when OpenAI's GPT-5 upgrade for ChatGPT was expected to bring AGI, or artificial general intelligence, along with it. While AGI doesn't have a perfectly objective explanation, with AI firms constantly shifting the goalposts, it's essentially AI that's better than humans at most tasks; AI that can approach any problem with a level of creativity similar to humans.
That correlation between GPT-5 and AGI has died down significantly since the early days of 2024. The ChatGPT upgrade will be significant, but it probably won't be hyped up as AGI. Some hype already exists aboutreport that GPT-5 is coming next month with a few exciting new additions, including unlimited access for the ChatGPT Free tier., including OpenAI. They want infrastructure investments, fewer regulations, and protection from China.
This week's reports also indicate that GPT-5 will incorporate the various ChatGPT models you might be using now. Instead of choosing o3 for reasoning, GPT-4.1 for coding, and GPT-4o for regular chats, GPT-5 will pick the tools it needs to answer your prompt on its own. GPT-5 might also come in different versions, including mini and nano options that could be available for specific use cases.
