Key Takeaways
- According to Sam Altman, the article that stated ChatGPT-5 would be available by December of this year is untrue.

- According to Altman, OpenAI is expected to make major strides in the near future.
A media report asserting that ChatGPT-5 will be available by December of this year was disputed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
According to a report released earlier today by The Verge, OpenAI, the firm that created ChatGPT, intends to deploy Orion, which is effectively ChatGPT-5, by December. But when Kylie Robinson, the report’s author, tweeted about it on X, Sam Altman responded with the words “fake news out of control,” seemingly ending speculation that the newest ChatGPT model would be due by December.
Altman acknowledged that OpenAI had some noteworthy developments planned for the foreseeable future, even though he refuted The Verge’s article.
Sam Altman has a reputation for leaving mysterious posts on X. He said on X in September that he was “looking forward to the winter constellation rising soon.”
The chatbot suggested that Altman’s message alluded to Orion, a winter constellation that is most visible in the night sky from November through February, when Kylie, the author of The Verge piece, used ChatGPT-o1 preview to evaluate the post. Taking this as a hint, Kylie deduced that it might allude to a December release date.
According to the article, OpenAI intends to release its next significant AI model by December. However, unlike its previous two models, GPT-4o and o1, the new model will not be widely published through ChatGPT at first. Rather, it is said that OpenAI intends to first make the model available to close partners such as Microsoft.
