A few days ago, according to The Information reporter Stephanie Palazzolo, theOpenAI of GPT-5 The model has been upgraded in a number of areas, but according to sources, itsprogrammingThe performance is particularly strong in the area of
Stephanie pointed out that GPT-5 not only performs better on academic tasks, it also performs better on practical programming tasks such as working with large and complex code bases. It also says that if GPT-5 performs significantly better on these more practical, everyday programming tasks, that could be bad news for competitor Anthropic.
In the recent past, there are also a lot of news in many aspects of the exposure of the GPT-5 content. Netizen Vuk Rosić recently revealed a set of suspected GPT-5 benchmark data graphs. In the graph, GPT-5 Standard and Inferred both outperform o3-pro, Google Gemini 2.5 Pro, Grok 4 Heavy and so on.
Last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman publicly shared his experience with GPT-5, saying that he felt "powerless" like never before.
Altman claimed that when he was testing the new model the morning of the interview, GPT-5 successfully answered an email with a question that he hadn't even understood, and he quipped, "At that point I leaned back in my chair and thought to myself, wow, this moment has finally come ......."
In the face of the power of GPT-5, Altman said bluntly, "I feel like I can't do anything in front of the AI":
That was supposed to be a problem that I felt I should be able to handle, but I couldn't. It was really quite hard. But the AI just breezed through it. It was a very strange feeling.
In terms of release timing, according to The Verge, OpenAI expects to launch GPT-5 as early as next month (i.e. as early as August). The report notes that GPT-5 will still be available in mini and nano versions, and both will be available via API.
But The Verge also notes that while GPT-5 is expected to debut in early August, OpenAi's planned release dates are often subject to date adjustments due to development issues, server capacity issues, and even the release and leak of rival AI models.
