The next version of OpenAI’s popular language model, ChatGPT 5.0 or GPT-5, is set to be released. MeinMMO explains what you should know about the new model GPT-5 and what differences are expected compared to ChatGPT 4.
What is ChatGPT 5? ChatGPT 5.0 is the successor to the current language model 4.0, which is used in many areas. ChatGPT 4.0 was released in March 2023, and many are waiting for the upcoming update.
ChatGPT-5 is expected to be an updated version of its predecessor GPT-4 and will primarily offer many improvements. MeinMMO presents you with all the important information regarding GPT-5.

ChatGPT 5.0 Release – When will it be released?
When will ChatGPT-5 be released? OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has already begun training GPT-5. OpenAI has not yet announced an official release date.
According to current information from OpenAI, the launch of ChatGPT-5 is planned for mid-2024, which would be around summer 2024. However, other sources expect that GPT-5 will be released at the end of 2024 or even early 2025.
What does the release depend on? The release depends on how the AI performs in internal tests. If major issues are found during testing, the release may be delayed.
Additionally, through a process called “Red Teaming”, it is checked how secure GPT-5 is before its official deployment. In “Red Teaming”, ethical hackers authorized by the company simulate a real attack on the company.
ChatGPT-5 – Costs
How much will GPT-5 cost? While there is a free version of ChatGPT, it is unclear whether ChatGPT-5 will require a subscription. For GPT-4, you need the ChatGPT-Plus subscription, which costs around 20 euros. You can read all the benefits of ChatGPT-Plus on MeinMMO.
Therefore, it is not unlikely that using GPT-5 will also cost money. However, the introduction of GPT-5 could also mean that GPT-4 becomes cheaper or even free.
GPT-5 Features – What can GPT-5 do better than GPT-4?
In a speech at the World Governments Summit (WGS) in Dubai in February 2024, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, affirmed that ChatGPT-5 “will be smarter” than its predecessor.
The CEO also hinted that the capabilities between GPT-4 and GPT-5 would be massively improved, and the difference between the two models should be as significant as the improvement between GPT-3 and GPT-4.
Enhanced, multimodal capabilities
ChatGPT-5 is expected to significantly improve compared to GPT-4 and become more multimodal. Multimodal means that the language model can take various methods into account to achieve its goals. GPT-5 can
- process language
- process images
- process code
- and even create and process videos.
This makes the use of the language model significantly more flexible, and GPT-5 can be applied in more areas. As a result, outputs will also be more detailed and better.
Fewer inaccurate answers
One of the key improvements of GPT-5 compared to its predecessors is the enhanced ability to produce less nonsense. GPT-5 is expected to provide significantly fewer inaccurate or fictional answers. This has been a problem with GPT-3 and GPT-4 where responses were sometimes incorrect.
Thanks to refined deep learning algorithms and extensive training with more diverse datasets, GPT-5 is expected to exhibit higher reliability and accuracy. This should especially improve accuracy in critical applications and questions, particularly when you need important facts that must be correct.
Expanded multilingual support with GPT-5
Unlike its predecessors, GPT-5 offers significantly expanded language support, enabling the translation and creation of content in many more languages.
If you have primarily used ChatGPT in German so far and have only occasionally used English, then the multilingual support may be less relevant for you. You can read in the following article how to switch ChatGPT to German:
Improved AI architecture and performance
GPT-5 is based on an improved architecture for neural networks, taking advancements in the development of attention-based models into account. This evolution allows GPT-5 to process data faster and more efficiently, improving the overall performance of the model.
For you, this means that GPT-5 can process data significantly faster in the future than the current language model (GPT-4) can.
Deeper contextual understanding by ChatGPT
ChatGPT has previously struggled with the issue of the AI becoming overwhelmed in complex conversations with multiple levels. GPT-5 is expected to improve significantly in this regard and provide better contextualization: the AI should better understand the context in which interactions occur and be able to interact accordingly. This is expected to result in better, more relevant, and targeted responses.
