OpenAI is working on the next major evolution of ChatGPT, GPT-5, and the intelligence of this new model will reach PhD level. In an interview with Dartmouth Engineering, Mira Murati, OpenAI’s Chief Technology Officer, made important statements about GPT-5’s capabilities.
“GPT-3 was baby-level, GPT-4 was a smart high schooler, and the next generation, which will be released in a year and a half, will be PhD-level.”
Mira Murati summarizes how GPT-5 will be a leap from the current GPT-4 as follows: “GPT-3 had perhaps a pre-school level of intelligence. GPT-4 has reached the level of an intelligent high school student. In the next few years, we expect to see a system with PhD-level intelligence on certain tasks.” Murati says this development will take place over the next year and a half, which means that GPT-5 could hit the market in late 2025 or early 2026.
This timeline reveals that the initial rumors that the GPT-5 would be released in late 2023 were wrong. The big leap expected in the summer actually happened with the release of GPT-4o, but it wasn’t the kind of leap in intelligence Murati was talking about.
Microsoft’s Chief Technology Officer Kevin Scott made similar comments about GPT-5, saying that the next generation of AI systems will be “capable of passing PhD exams”. This will be possible thanks to better memory and reasoning capabilities.
Murati noted that ChatGPT-5’s PhD-level intelligence will only apply to specific tasks. “These systems already have human-level intelligence in certain tasks, and of course not yet in many tasks,” he said. This suggests that while GPT-5 is not a general-purpose AI, it will perform exceptionally well in certain areas.
It turns out that Apple did not pay OpenAI for ChatGPT. So how will OpenAI profit from this? Here are the details!
GPT-5’s potential capabilities have the potential to revolutionize many industries. From education to health, from engineering to art and literature, there is a wide range of applications. Therefore, the launch of GPT-5 is eagerly awaited.
The fact that GPT-5 comes with PhD-level intelligence marks an exciting era in the world of artificial intelligence. The capabilities and potential applications of this new model could lead to significant changes in many industries. OpenAI plans to release this powerful AI model in late 2025 or early 2026, marking the beginning of a new era in AI. The development of ChatGPT-5 will be an important step in the integration of AI into human life.
