The new model will be freely available to all users as OpenAI continues to compete in the rapidly evolving global&nbsp;<strong>AI&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;race. As the global technology race accelerates, OpenAI released the much-anticipated next generation of its iconic ChatGPT on Thursday, touting a &#8220;significant&#8221; advance in AI capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a briefing with reporters, OpenAI said ChatGPT-5 will be freely available to all users of its&nbsp;<strong>AI&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;tools, which are used by nearly 700 million people each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-founder and CEO Sam Altman called the latest version &#8220;clearly a model of general intelligence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is a significant step toward a truly capable model,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altman cautioned that much work remains to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI), which can think like humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t a model that continuously learns as it\u2019s deployed to new things, which to me should be part of AGI,\u201d Altman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut there\u2019s a huge improvement in the level of capability here.\u201d Michelle Pokrass, a member of the development team, said GPT-5 is particularly good at letting&nbsp;<strong>AI&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;act as an \u201cagent\u201d to independently handle computer tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGPT-3 to me felt like talking to a high school student\u2014you ask a question, maybe you get a correct answer, maybe you get some crazy answer,\u201d Altman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGPT-4 felt like talking to a college student; and GPT-5 is the first time you really feel like you\u2019re talking to a PhD-level expert on any subject.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambient Coding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altman said he expects the ability to create software programs on demand\u2014so-called \u201cambient coding\u201d\u2014to be \u201ca defining part of the new ChatGPT-5 era.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, OpenAI executives demonstrated a robot being asked to create an app for learning French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altman said ChatGPT-5 is leading the way in areas like coding, writing, and healthcare, as the global race for the technology intensifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competitors including Google and Microsoft have invested billions of dollars in developing&nbsp;<strong>AI&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altman said there are &#8220;orders of magnitude more progress&#8221; ahead on the path to general artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Obviously&#8230; you have to invest in computing power at an incredible rate to achieve this, but we intend to continue doing so.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex Beutel, head of security research at&nbsp;<strong>OpenAI<\/strong>, said ChatGPT-5 has also been trained to be trustworthy and to provide answers that are as helpful as possible, rather than assisting with seemingly harmful tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We built an evaluation system to measure the prevalence of deception and train the model to be honest,&#8221; Beutel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beutel said ChatGPT-5 is trained to generate &#8220;safely completed&#8221; high-level information that will not be used to cause harm. Just a day earlier, OpenAI announced that it would allow the US government to use a version of ChatGPT designed for businesses for one year for $1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to&nbsp;<strong>AI&nbsp;<\/strong>luminaries, ChatGPT Enterprise will be available free of charge to federal workers across the executive branch through a partnership with the General Services Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company also released two new&nbsp;<strong>AI&nbsp;<\/strong>models this week, which users can download and modify for free to challenge similar products from US and Chinese competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The release of the gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b &#8220;open weight language models&#8221; comes as ChatGPT&#8217;s makers face pressure to share the inner workings of their software, in keeping with its nonprofit nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/tablet-battery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><br>Laptop Battery Online Shop- Replacement Laptop Battery, Cell phone Battery, Tablet Battery, Power Tools Battery Wholesale and Retailer in United Kingdom.
