OpenAI’s GPT-5 model wasn’t delayed after all — it’s all set to arrive tomorrow by the looks of it.
OpenAI has announced a livestream on Thursday. But it included a ‘5’ in the word ‘stream’, indicating that the stream would indeed reveal its much-anticipated GPT-5 model
But while details on the model have been under wraps, a leak on GitHub seems to have revealed some details about the model. GPT-5 will come in at least 4 variants — GPT-5, GPT-5-mini, GPT-5-nano and GPT-5-Chat.
“The latest Al model from OpenAI, GPT-5, is now available on GitHub Models,” the leaked information from GitHub said. “GPT-5 is OpenAl’s most advanced model, offering major improvements in reasoning, code quality, and user experience. It handles complex coding tasks with minimal prompting, provides clear explanations, and introduces enhanced agentic capabilities, making it a powerful coding collaborator and intelligent assistant for all users,” it added.
“The following model variants of GPT-5 are available:
- gpt-5: Designed for logic and multi-step tasks.
- gpt-5-mini: A lightweight version for cost-sensitive applications.
- gpt-5-nano: Optimized for speed and ideal for applications requiring low latency.
gpt-5-chat: Designed for advanced, natural, multimodal, and context-aware conversations for enterprise applications,” it added.
There have been other clues that models named GPT-5-mini and GPT-5-nano are set to be released. Icons for GPT-5-mini and GPT-5-nano have been spotted in OpenAI’s API docs.
All this seems to cement the idea that not only is GPT-5 releasing on Thursday, but also the variants the model will come in — GPT-5, GPT-5-mini, GPT-5-nano, GPT-5-chat will all cater to different use-cases. OpenAI, meanwhile, is calling GPT-5 the company’s most advanced model. It remains to be seen how it does on the benchmarks, but given all the anticipation around the model over the last few weeks, GPT-5 would have to live up to some pretty intense expectations when it’s finally unveiled to the world.
