The earliest expected release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT 5 is early in the summer of 2024. ChatGPT 5 is said to bring improved contextual understanding and AI agents capable of operating autonomously — no humans involved. The GPT-5 model is “materially better”, according to one sneak preview. New developments may include Sora and the AI voice product Voice Engine. If OpenAI sticks to the playbook, we expect ChatGPT 5 to arrive in two flavors: a free-to-use model and a $20-a-month subscription model that expands the capabilities.
