OpenAI Unveils o3 and Delays GPT-5 Launch - OpenAI changed its decision to cancel the o3 models, now planning to launch them with an o4-mini in the coming weeks, which delays the expected GPT-5 release. CEO Sam Altman pointed to integration challenges and the need to improve GPT-5's capabilities as reasons for the delay.
GPT-5 is designed to provide varied intelligence levels across subscription plans and feature innovations like voice and deep research. OpenAI competes with companies like DeepSeek, which offers an open-access model that differs from OpenAI's selective release approach.
