Few recent software releases have been as hyped as OpenAI’s launch of its GPT-5 model. “GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD level expert,” said CEO Sam Altman in a recent press briefing.
Is this new release as big of an upgrade as OpenAI claims? What do these changes actually mean for ChatGPT users? WIRED reporters are currently testing this newest drop from OpenAI, and seeing how GPT-5’s ability to write, code, and perform other tasks compares to past releases.
At our next subscriber-only livestream, we’ll be answering your questions about GPT-5 and the future of generative AI. Join us on Thursday, August 14, at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT / 6pm UK to hear from our expert panel featuring WIRED senior reporter Will Knight, who authors the subscriber-only AI Lab newsletter, and senior correspondent Kylie Robison, who authors the subscriber-only Model Behavior newsletter. Both reporters have been reporting on chatbots for years and closely following OpenAI’s developments.
Leave any questions you want the panel to address in the comments below! We’ll see you right here, on the WIRED website, live on Thursday.
