OpenAI is preparing to unveil what could be its most significant upgrade yet — ChatGPT-5. The livestream event is scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, which corresponds to 10:30 PM IST, and will be available on OpenAI’s official YouTube channel. While the placeholder link for the stream has not yet appeared, it is expected to go live closer to the event. Excitement is building globally, particularly after CEO Sam Altman hinted at a wide range of upcoming innovations, including new models, products, and features. Although GPT-5 is expected to be the main highlight, the event may include several additional surprises. The livestream might also be broadcast on OpenAI’s X (formerly Twitter) platform, in line with previous launch events.
The release of ChatGPT-5 has been long-awaited, with multiple delays pushing back its debut. Now, however, it appears the launch is finally set. Though OpenAI has not revealed all the specifics, leaks and hints indicate that GPT-5 represents a major leap over its predecessor, GPT-4. Users can look forward to faster processing speeds, better reasoning capabilities, and the ability to handle a broader variety of input formats — potentially including images, voice, and video.
Multiple variants of GPT-5 have already surfaced on GitHub Models. These include the main GPT-5 model tailored for complex logical tasks, as well as lighter options like GPT-5-mini and GPT-5-nano, designed for budget-conscious and low-latency applications. Additionally, there is GPT-5-chat, which focuses on delivering more advanced, context-aware conversations, particularly aimed at enterprise users. These variations signal greater adaptability and versatility in the upcoming model, catering to diverse user needs through both the API and GitHub playground.
According to Sam Altman, GPT-5 integrates OpenAI’s most recent innovations into a faster, smarter, and more cohesive AI model. This upgrade aims to streamline user experiences by eliminating the need to switch between tools or versions. The overarching goal is to offer an AI that feels more intuitive and effective across a wide spectrum of use cases.
One of the standout features expected in GPT-5 is autonomous task handling. Rather than relying on step-by-step instructions, users could simply describe their desired outcome, and the model would independently manage the process. This shift could redefine the way AI assistants are used, enhancing their utility in both personal and professional environments.
Another rumored improvement is enhanced memory, which would enable GPT-5 to retain information between sessions. This could result in more personalized and consistent interactions over time. Anticipation is also high for better performance in coding, content creation, and data analysis, with developers and casual users alike eagerly awaiting these enhancements.
It remains uncertain whether OpenAI will release an open-source version of GPT-5 or how access will be divided between free and subscription-based tiers. Regardless of the format, the upcoming announcement promises to be a major moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence.
