OpenAI might have just given us an unexpected preview of its next big update. Earlier today, the company accidentally pushed an unreleased feature called “Agent with Truncation” to ChatGPT. It looks like a new AI agent that the company is calling GPT-Alpha internally.
The new agent showed up under the Alpha Models section in ChatGPT, and screenshots confirm that it runs on a special version of GPT-5. According to the system prompt, GPT-Alpha is designed for advanced reasoning and tool use, with the ability to:
- Browse the web for up-to-date and niche information
- Generate and edit images
- Write, run, and debug code
- Create and edit documents, spreadsheets, and slides
The internal prompt also included clear constraints, like not accessing or exposing private information unless explicitly provided.
Obviously, we have no idea when the GPT_Alpha will make its official rollout, but this could be one of the advanced features Sam Altman hinted would be exclusive to paid customers due to the heavy compute requirements. And if that’s true, then we should expect the GPT-Alpha to arrive first as a premium offering for ChatGPT Plus or enterprise users.
However, this is not the only update OpenAI is working on. Just days ago, a mysterious new feature called “Pineapple” was spotted inside the ChatGPT web app. While OpenAI has not commented, early speculation indicates that it could be tied to improved follow-up responses or workflow automation.
This isn’t the only hint at what’s next for ChatGPT. Just days ago, users spotted a mysterious new feature called “Pineapple” inside the ChatGPT web app. While OpenAI has not commented, early speculation suggests it could be tied to improved follow-up responses or workflow automation. No official documentation has been released so far.
Between GPT-Alpha and features like Pineapple, it’s clear that OpenAI is actively testing new ways to expand ChatGPT’s role. However, since the company has yet to officially announce or confirm details, all information should be taken with a grain of salt until more clarity is provided.
