OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-5 models have been outed ahead of schedule, thanks to a now-deleted GitHub blog post. The leak confirms four distinct versions designed to improve code generation, reasoning, and enterprise-level conversation.
GitHub confirms GPT-5 models before official reveal
A blog post briefly published on GitHub claimed that GPT-5 was now “generally available” across its tools. It highlighted faster performance, “enhanced agentic capabilities,” and more efficient coding, all with less prompting required. Reddit users caught the post before it vanished.
Microsoft may want to introduce a new AI-based rendering tool for Paint. Here are the details.
What each GPT-5 model is designed for
The leaked content revealed four new model variants:
- GPT-5: Tailored for complex logic and multi-step thinking
- GPT-5-mini: A smaller version for low-cost applications
- GPT-5-nano: Prioritizes speed and low-latency tasks
- GPT-5-chat: Built for high-context, enterprise-grade interactions
GitHub compared the set to Llama 4 Scout and Cohere v2, signaling aggressive positioning against rival AI models.
Signals from OpenAI leadership
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had already hinted at a big reveal earlier in the week. Company engineers also teased a major event. OpenAI will likely announce GPT-5 formally during the official “LIVE5TREAM” event scheduled for later today.
Open-source models set the tone
Just days before the leak, OpenAI released two open-weight GPT-OSS models, including one small enough to run on a PC. Combined with today’s reveal, it marks a shift in how and where AI runs.
GPT-5 models are just the start
With speed, efficiency, and coding precision at the core, GPT-5 marks OpenAI’s push beyond chat. These models aren’t just smarter, they’re aimed at reshaping real work.
