I wonder if they will make ChatGPT 5 open source or if it will be more proprietary like now.
I keep checking forums and social media hoping for leaks but no luck so far :(
I’m curious if the new version will be better at creative writing tasks like stories or poems, the current one is good but could improve.
I'm really hoping it comes out soon, the improvements in the current version are awesome but there's always room for more cool features.
No official news AFAIK, but some folks say it might be late this year or early next. Just rumors tho.
I heard you can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools, maybe they’ll have some info about upcoming releases too.
I’m new to all this, do you think it’ll be a free update or something you gotta pay for?
Honestly, I feel like the wait is part of the hype now, but they usually announce these things when they're really close, so maybe not too long now.
Personally, I think the tech behind ChatGPT keeps getting more impressive, can't wait to see what 5 brings!
Would be nice if the new version could handle context better over longer chats. Current ones sometimes forget what we said earlier.
Sometimes I wish they'd just give a rough release window instead of making us guess forever.
Does anyone know if they plan to add new languages or improve understanding of slang in the next version? That would be awesome.
