ChatGPT-5: What Do We Already Know About It?

OpenAI has confirmed work on the next version of its AI chatbot! ChatGPT-5, set to debut in late 2024 or early 2025, is the focus of this announcement. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, emphasizes that ChatGPT-5 aims to bring artificial intelligence closer to human characteristics.

He notes that the new model will significantly improve AI’s ability to understand and process natural language, thereby reducing the number of so-called “hallucinations.” Users will feel like they are conversing with a human rather than a machine.

Similar to previous releases of ChatGPT models, there is now a lot of speculation online about how the new model will function. What do we already know about it? Here are a few crucial points we’ve gathered so far:

• Its release is expected in late 2024 or early 2025.
• It will likely be an updated version of its predecessor, GPT-4.
• Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, emphasized that alongside reliability, “the ability to personalize and tailor to individual needs” will be crucial.
• OpenAI plans to use GPT-5 to create a “superintelligent” assistant capable of managing a user’s computer, competing with tools offered by Microsoft and Google.
• The model will contain over 1.5 trillion parameters, significantly improving its reasoning abilities and the naturalness of conversations.
• New voice generation features will allow for the creation of naturally sounding voices based on short audio samples, opening up new application possibilities.

• GPT-5 will be capable of integrating with external data sources, allowing for more contextual and personalized responses.
• This model will process various types of data, including text, images, sound, and video, enabling more comprehensive applications.
• The new model will have the ability to switch automatically between different tools, such as image generators like DALL·E and web search engines, promoting even more advanced functionality.
• The difference between GPT-4 and GPT-5 is expected to be as significant as between GPT-3 and GPT-4, indicating a substantial leap in capabilities and performance.
• GPT-5 is said to analyze even longer text passages, improving its ability to handle complex documents and books.
• GPT-5 aims to be more precise and less prone to generating incorrect information, crucial for critical fields such as medicine and education.
• It will support longer queries and more complex interactions, improving its usability across various fields.
• The model will be more advanced in natural language processing, making interactions with it more akin to conversations with humans than machines.
• Before its public release, the model will undergo rigorous security testing, including “red teaming,” where experts assess its strengths and weaknesses.

The current version, ChatGPT-4, is already employed in various everyday tasks. For instance, I use it to draft more extensive responses, translate technical issues into simpler terms for clients, and generate content that still requires human input.

ChatGPT-5, with its advanced personalization capabilities and improved integration with external tools, aims to make our tasks easier by:

• providing us with a personal assistant to manage our calendars, respond to emails, or shop online
• allowing for greater customization of emails and communications, simplifying the enhancement of user experience
• facilitating meeting organization, calendar management, and report generation
• enabling greater personalization of lessons and exercises tailored to individual student needs
• delivering more precise and prompt responses to technical queries, thereby reducing troubleshooting time

It’s unclear if ChatGPT-5 will be available in a free version. Most likely, full access to the model’s capabilities will require a subscription, similar to GPT-4. Currently, a monthly subscription costs $20, which – in my opinion – is not a high price considering the capabilities this tool provides.

Am I worried about ChatGPT-5 soon being released? Not at all! This tool has opened up so many new possibilities for us SEO Specialists, and its newer versions will only speed up our work, leading to better results for our clients. We’ll be able to research faster, give quicker and more accurate replies to messages, and handle data better – all of which will only have a positive effect on our work.

Some were concerned that ChatGPT would weaken the importance of the SEO industry, but that turned out to be far from true. The specialized knowledge and creativity we bring to the table as humans are still crucial. Machines can’t match our ability to connect the dots or show empathy. The role of SEO Specialists is definitely evolving, but it’s changing for the better.

Watching the market, we see two groups of Specialists:

• those who love technology and can harness it for client benefits (even if clients don’t fully grasp what they do but see the results), and
• those who work closely with the first group but have a stronger business focus, helping companies move forward (did you know “Delante” in Spanish means “forward”?).

ChatGPT-5, with its advanced customization capabilities and integration with external tools, will certainly be a valuable tool in our daily operations, further improving our efficiency and effectiveness.
