ChatGPT’s next iteration, GPT-5, has been the subject of much speculation recently. OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati recently shed light on this new version’s capabilities in an interview with Dartmouth Engineering. She likened the jump from GPT-4 to GPT-5 to the growth from high school to university.
What’s Happening & Why This Matters
This phase evolution is significant, placing GPT-5 at “Ph.D. intelligence” levels for specific tasks, representing a notable evolution from current chatbot models. This comes amid speculation about the release date, with some expecting GPT-5 to launch by 2023 or late 2024. However, Murati clarified that it likely won’t be until late 2025 or early 2026
Supported by claims from Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott about the ability of next-gen AI systems, GPT-5 is expected to reach “Ph.D. level” in its capabilities, particularly in terms of memory and reasoning tasks. However, Murati also noted that while these systems are powerful, they still have gaps in understanding and will not be “Ph.D.-level” in all areas.
