Openai releases GPT-5, a potential barometer for questioning whether hype for artificial intelligence is justified

San Francisco (AP) – Openai has released the fifth generation of the artificial intelligence technology that Chatgpt uses, a product update that is closely watched as a measure or generative AI progresses quickly or hits a plateau. GPT-5 arrives more than two years after the GPT-4 release in March 2023, and discusses a period of intense commercial investment, hype and worry about AI’s capabilities. In anticipation, the rival Anthropic released the latest version of his own chatbot, Claude, earlier this week. Expectations are great for the latest version of Openai’s flagship model, because the San Francisco business has long positioned its technical progress as a path to artificial general intelligence, or AGI, a technology that is supposed to surpass people at economically valuable work. It also tries to raise large amounts of money to get there, partly to pay for the expensive computer chips. Openai started in 2015 as a non-profit research laboratory to build AGI safely and has since recorded a profitable company with a valuation that has grown to $ 300 billion. The company has tried to change its structure since the non -profit board drove its CEO, Sam Altman, in November 2023. He was re -established days later and still leads open. It had hurdles that she did not escape -profit roots, including investigation by the attorneys -general in California and Delaware, who oversee nonprofit organizations, and a lawsuit by Elon Musk, an early donor and founder of Openai. Recently, Openai said it would transform its profitable company into a public benefit corporation, which should balance the interests of shareholders and its mission.
