OpenAI is gearing up for a major announcement this Thursday that is widely expected to be the unveiling of the much-anticipated GPT-5 AI model. In a recent post on X, OpenAI cryptically promoted a “LIVE5TREAM THURSDAY 10AM PT,” cleverly replacing the “s” with a “5” in livestream. This hint, along with CEO Sam Altman’s recent posts referencing “ChatGPT 5” and excitement expressed by the head of applied research, points to an imminent launch. OpenAI is reportedly targeting early August for GPT-5’s debut, supported by preparations from partners like Microsoft who are readying server capacity. This event follows a significant week for OpenAI, which also introduced GPT-OSS, a free open-weight model operable on personal laptops.
