OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that GPT-5 will not be released in 2024. During a Reddit AMA, Altman mentioned that while there are significant releases planned for the next two months, none will be labeled as GPT-5. Instead, OpenAI is expected to release a new model named Orion in December, which is intended to be the successor to GPT-4 and is reportedly up to 100 times stronger. This model will initially be available to select partners. Additionally, Altman hinted at the development of new image-based models and emphasized the continuous improvement of OpenAI's reasoning models, discussed during the London DevDay. He also stated that OpenAI plans to open-source more of its work in the future. OpenAI now seems to be in a feedback loop where one model helps train another by simulating a stronger model through reasoning, known as test-time-scaling.
