FULL STORY
======================================================================OpenAI's
 announced a livestream for August 7 at 1PM ET / 10AM PT / 6PM BST We're 
expecting GPT-5 to be unveiled as OpenAI wrote, "LIVE5TREAM" It comes after 
many rumors and hints about the next model 

After countless rumors, teases, hints of a delay, and many, many thoughts 
from CEO Sam Altman , OpenAI has finally confirmed a livestream tomorrow, and 
we're expecting to see Chat GPT-5's formal unveiling. 

Its not just that weve been waiting for the next-generation model to arrive, 
but a post on X (formerly Twitter) from the @OpenAI account makes it pretty 
clear, as it reads, LIVE5TREAM THURSDAY 10AM PT. Thats a pretty clear 
spelling of livestream replacing the s with a 5, and hinting at the GPT-5 
model. 

As the next major model for OpenAI, GPT-5 is rummored to bring with it more 
speed and better efficiency, but a real spotlight might be on how we can 
interact with it. Weve already seen more formal Agents debut from ChatGPT, 
but GPT-5 is likely going to bring in automatic selection of the right model. 
LIVE5TREAM THURSDAY 10AM PT August 6, 2025 

This means you wont need to select the model you think is the best fit, as 
GPT-5 will understand your prompt and handle the specific routing for you. 
Hopefully, that means easier, more appropriate answers for various prompts. 
Just a few days ago, on August 3, 2025, Sam Altman shared a screenshot of 
ChatGPT with ChatGPT 5 as the selected model in the top corner. 

With a planned livestream for tomorrow, August 7, 2025 at 1PM ET / 10AM PT / 
6PM BST, this will turn out to be a pretty packed week for OpenAI. Yesterday, 
on August 5, 2025, OpenAI debuted two open-weight AI models , gptoss120b and 
gptoss20b. The latter of which is capable of running locally on a consumer 
PC. 

GPT-5 would have a significantly more immediate impact, assuming it gets a 
wide rollout and could be in the hands of consumers soon after the 
livestream. Sam Altman did tease in a post on X on August 2, 2025, that 
OpenAI has a ton of stuff to launch over the next couple of months--new 
models, products, features, and more   so the August 7 livestream   err, 
LIVE5TREAM  could be the start of plenty of new features to try. 

Of course, Altman also used that post to warn about capacity issues or 
hiccups, so similar to other launches with longer lead times, it could be a 
bit of a wait before trying GPT-5 for yourself. 

Either route, stick with TechRadar as well be reporting live on whatever 
OpenAI announces during its livestream tomorrow, and wed bet on GPT-5. Like 
previous OpenAI announcements, we're expecting the event to be livestreamed 
on the brand's YouTube channel here . You might also like Guess the movie
