Will GPT-5 Be the Surprise Hit of the Summer? Here's What to Expect

Key Points

1. GPT-5 is anticipated to unify OpenAI's models (text, images, audio, video) into one system, eliminating the need for specialized models.

2. The model may support up to 2 million tokens, a significant increase from GPT-4o's 128,000 tokens, enhancing memory and reasoning capabilities.

3. Experts predict GPT-5 could achieve major benchmark improvements, such as 95% on MMLU and 82% on SWEBench, but skepticism remains about its revolutionary potential.

4. OpenAI faces challenges, including data scarcity and talent poaching by competitors like Meta, which could impact GPT-5's development and release.

5. Some experts believe GPT-5 will offer incremental improvements in reliability, controllability, and adaptability rather than a transformative leap toward AGI.
