The Next Leap in AI: OpenAI’s Journey Towards GPT-5 - Viraj Paradkar, Medium

GPT-5, the successor to the already impressive GPT-4, is not just another update; it’s a leap towards a future where AI understands and interacts in a more human-like manner. Unlike its predecessors, GPT-5 is expected to excel in multi-modal outputs, meaning it won’t just play with text but also images, audio, and possibly video, opening doors to applications we’ve only dreamed of so far. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has been somewhat enigmatic about the specifics of GPT-5, but what’s clear is the ambition: to create an AI that’s not just smarter, but also more attuned to the complexities of human communication. The focus is on quality, not just quantity, of data. OpenAI aims to feed GPT-5 a diet of high-quality data, moving beyond the vast, yet often noisy internet data, to more curated and nuanced sources.
