OpenAI plans to combine multiple models (features) into GPT-5, its next foundational model. ChatGPT has too many models that are capable of performing different tasks. The models are powerful but can be confusing due to their similar names.
Jerry Tworek, a VP of OpenAI, said in a Reddit AMA that plans are being made to combine some current models with their capabilities into the next foundational model.
GPT-5 makes the existing models much better at everything.
“GPT-5 is our next foundational model that is meant to just make everything our models can currently do better and with less model switching,” Jerry Tworek is a Vice President at OpenAI. Reddit user wrote this in a post.
OpenAI should reduce the number models it has, and combine some of them under the multimodal GPT-5 which could also support reasoning.
OpenAI is currently focusing on developing the best coding agent, Codex, that helps software engineers accomplish their tasks.
OpenAI plans to continue updating the Codex-1 model to make it the best coding agent.
