We all know that OpenAI is setting up the stage to launch its most powerful AI model yet, called GPT-5. Recently, it was reported that the new model will arrive sometime next month. Now there’s a new leak which indicates that the launch might happen on the 5th day of August.
BREAKING 🚨: High chance that GPT-5 will be released on August 5!

Why?
– August "5"
– GPT-5 related livestreams are being scheduled by YouTubers.
– Google is hosting the Tokyo Next event on August 5 (Another thing to watch for) https://t.co/LY3f0qxT5p pic.twitter.com/GNfngZJTKT
One of the early clues came from TestingCatalog, a known X account tracking AI feature, which posted: “High chance that GPT-5 will be released on August 5!” The reason? The date itself is August “5” which resonates with GPT-5 and the sudden spike in GPT-5-themed livestreams scheduled by YouTubers.

Another X account named Nick D found references to “gpt-5-auto” and “gpt-5-reasoning” inside the cache folder of the OpenAI Mac app (~/Library/Caches/com.openai.chat/fsCachedData). These labels indicate that the internal testing of new GPT-5 models is already underway.
What to Expect from GPT-5?
If we go by some previous statements from OpenAI and various leaks, GPT-5 is expected to combine the strengths of its recent model families, the o-series (used in reasoning-heavy tasks like GPT-4 Turbo and o3) and the GPT-series (which powers GPT-4o and its multimodal abilities). The idea is to bring advanced reasoning and multimodal processing into text, image, and possibly video with a single unified model.
If this turns out to be true, then the forthcoming GPT-5 will have massive improvements in complex instructions, analysing multiple inputs at once, and possibly performing longer, more autonomous tasks.
Another big change that people are talking about on the internet is the massive context window, possibly supporting up to 1 million tokens. That would allow the model to process entire books, lengthy transcripts, or detailed project instructions without losing track of the conversation, which is something researchers and developers have been asking for a long time.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that none of these details have been confirmed by OpenAI at the moment. So take everything with a grain of salt. But if GPT-5 does arrive next week, then it will be the biggest update since OpenAI released GPT-4o in May 2024.
