OpenAI CEO: GPT-5 is about to be launched, worrying about being surpassed by DeepSeek every day

In a recent podcast show, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman openly discussed the challenges and strategies the company is currently facing. With the rapid rise of Chinese competitor DeepSeek, OpenAI feels huge competitive pressure.

Ultraman mentioned that DeepSeek's new model is not only powerful but also cost-effective, which has attracted widespread attention in the industry. He said OpenAI is working hard to stay technologically ahead and seeks to communicate with the DeepSeek team to better understand its technology and market strategy.

In addition, Ultraman also announced that OpenAI plans to launch the GPT-5 model in the next few months. This new model will integrate multiple advanced technologies from OpenAI, including o3, and apply to ChatGPT and API platforms. OpenAI decided not to release the o3 model separately, but to incorporate it into GPT-5.

The good news for users is that the free version of ChatGPT will allow users to use GPT-5 to communicate without restrictions under standard settings, and OpenAI will also take measures to prevent abuse to improve the user experience.
