OpenAI founder Sam Altman has revealed that the new version of OpenAI may be delayed as it is currently facing a computing bottleneck. He also announced that the service may sometimes slow down.
The discussion about the new version of ChatGPT was first raised by OpenAI’s Chief Product Officer, Kevin Weil, who recently shared that AI will achieve 99% code automation after ChatGPT-5’s new release. He assured users, “GPT-5 will appear very soon. We are already working on this very seriously.”
Not just this, in February, Sam Altman had planned to launch GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 in the coming weeks or months. And yesterday, he said that he would release a “new open source weighted language model” with reasoning capabilities in the coming months.
An open-source weighted language model refers to a model that can be publicly used, downloaded, modified, or deployed. Although it is not as open as a fully open-source model, it is a major change compared to the completely closed GPT-3 and GPT-4. OpenAI partially open-sourced the GPT-2 model in February 2019 and completed full open-source in November of the same year.
In addition to these developments, OpenAI also launched a new feature allowing ChatGPT to replace Google’s Gemini as the default digital assistant on Android devices with its recent beta update (v1.2025.070).
