It seems like OpenAI is inching closer to releasing its next flagship AI model, GPT-5. According to some recent reports, the company might launch the GPT-5 in early to mid-August 2025. While the company has not made any official announcement, CEO Sam Altman confirmed on July 19 via social media that the model is “coming soon.” He also discussed the upcoming release in more detail during a podcast appearance on July 23.
If we go by some online reports, GPT-5 is currently in its final stages of internal evaluation and safety testing. These tests are a key part of OpenAI’s updated approach to model deployment, aiming to minimise risks before release.
