OpenAI is training a new prime AI model to succeed its current GPT-4.
First reported by The New York Times and announced in a blog post, the company is working on a successor to the artificial intelligence model that fuels its well-known chatbot, ChatGPT.
“OpenAI has recently begun training its next frontier model and we anticipate the resulting systems to bring us to the next level of capabilities on our path to AGI,” reads the post, published Tuesday.
OpenAI’s GPT-4 was released in March 2023, a powerful update to GPT-3 which powered its successful ChatGPT chatbot launched in November 2022.
Mashable reached out to OpenAI for further information on the new AI model, and we were pointed to the blog.

In the same post, OpenAI also announced it has formed a Safety and Security Committee that “will be responsible for making recommendations to the full Board on critical safety and security decisions for OpenAI projects and operations.”
The committee will be comprised of directors Bret Taylor, Nicole Seligman, Adam D’Angelo, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
“While we are proud to build and release models that are industry-leading on both capabilities and safety, we welcome a robust debate at this important moment,” OpenAI’s post reads.
The news comes weeks after OpenAI unveiled GPT-4o, a multimodal AI voice assistant that combines text, vision, and audio, in April. The announcement put a new spotlight on the existing “Sky” option for ChatGPT’s Voice Mode, which some had likened to actor Scarlett Johansson’s fictional digital assistant in the 2013 film Her — and yes, Johansson heard it too. The voice has been paused on ChatGPT for now.
Meanwhile, in-company politics have reached boiling point for OpenAI, following a leadership crisis, a wave of high profile resignations and former executives calling out the company’s lack of transparency.
