OpenAI Unveils GPT-5 Amid Rising Competition in AI Sector
OpenAI has launched GPT-5, its next-generation AI model, following months of speculation. The announcement came during a livestream event, with CEO Sam Altman highlighting the model's advanced capabilities, including the ability to write software from scratch. GPT-5 will be available to all users, including those on the free tier, albeit with usage limits.
The release comes as OpenAI faces intensifying competition from rivals like Meta, Anthropic, and Google. ChatGPT currently boasts 700 million weekly active users, a figure matched by Meta AI due to its integration with popular platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp. OpenAI's valuation, now at $300 billion, is projected to reach $500 billion, reflecting the growing stakes in the AI race.
