the much-anticipated open-source edition of ChatGPT. OpenAI’s public model was thought to debut in the last week of July, following several postponements.
July has now passed, and still, there is no open-source ChatGPT available for download. These incidents occur. The leading competitors in the industry introduce new functionalities consistently. AI firms reveal fresh models and features at every opportunity. The announcements are more frequent than what we’re accustomed to in the tech sector. We typically wait a year for iPhone releases, but the next AI upgrade seems to always be just weeks around the corner.
AI companies such as OpenAI launch their newest advancements as soon as they are prepared for widespread usage. ChatGPT Agent serves as a prime example, an innovative AI model that can handle intricate tasks on your behalf within its own virtual environment. This model was released a few weeks ago, approximately six months after OpenAI introduced the Operator agent, which is now integrated into ChatGPT Agent. The same applies to GPT-5 and the open-source ChatGPT model. OpenAI may require further safety evaluations prior to the release of both models.
This is purely conjecture derived from Sam Altman’s latest tweet. The OpenAI CEO shared a hint on X over the weekend indicating that the company has “a ton of stuff” set to launch in the upcoming weeks. He also mentioned that setbacks might occur as part of the timeline, implying possible delays for some of OpenAI’s significant releases.
