OpenAI has officially canceled the launch of its upcoming AI model, o3, opting instead for a “simplified” version with the announcement of GPT-5. CEO Sam Altman shared on X that GPT-5 will integrate the features of o3 within ChatGPT and its API, marking a shift in the company’s approach. Before GPT-5, OpenAI plans to release GPT-4.5, which Altman claims will be the last “non-chain-of-thought model.”
In other tech news, TikTok has made its comeback to U.S. app stores after being removed for nearly a month due to security concerns. Apple and Google have reinstated the app, along with CapCut and Lemon8, following a letter from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi indicating that the ban would not be enforced immediately.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s bid of $97.4 billion for OpenAI faces new conditions, as his legal team states he will withdraw the offer if the board commits to keeping the organization as a nonprofit.
