OpenAI Launches GPT-5, Expands ChatGPT Power to 700m Users
OpenAI has officially launched GPT-5, the next-generation artificial intelligence model that now powers its flagship chatbot, ChatGPT, a move expected to enhance the platform’s capabilities for over 700 million users worldwide.
The company announced that GPT-5 will be rolled out across the ChatGPT platform, providing users with smarter, faster, and more context-aware responses. This release marks a major leap in OpenAI’s AI evolution, following the global impact of GPT-4 and its predecessors that have transformed how businesses, educators, creatives, and individuals interact with machines.
“This upgrade brings more power to the people who use ChatGPT daily, from students and researchers to enterprise teams and developers,” OpenAI said in its statement.
The launch comes at a pivotal time for the artificial intelligence industry, as global tech giants ramp up spending to stay ahead in the AI race. Backed by Microsoft, OpenAI joins the ranks of Alphabet (Google), Meta, and Amazon, whose collective investment in AI infrastructure is expected to reach nearly $400 billion this fiscal year.
These massive capital expenditures are largely directed at building and scaling AI data centers, the backbone of advanced models like GPT-5, reflecting both the industry’s rapid pace and investor confidence in the long-term potential of generative AI.
