OpenAI CEO and co-founder Sam Altman confirmed at an MIT event that the company is not currently developing GPT-5, the presumed successor to its AI language model GPT-4. This was in response to an open letter circulated among the tech world requesting labs pause development of AI systems “more powerful than GPT-4” due to safety concerns. Altman highlighted that progress in AI safety should be measured by capabilities, not version numbers, as these are often used for marketing purposes. He noted OpenAI is still expanding the potential of GPT-4 and that others in the industry are building similarly ambitious tools. He also cautioned that version numbers can mislead, as OpenAI may release GPT-4.5 first.
