OpenAI Unveils GPT-5, Its Latest and Most Powerful Model, After Two-Year Wait

From: The Wall Street Journal

OpenAI on Thursday announced the release of GPT-5, its most advanced AI model, a culmination of more than two years of development that saw a series of setbacks and delays.

Interacting with the new technology “really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a Ph.D.-level expert,” Chief Executive Sam Altman said on a call with reporters Wednesday. He emphasized its ability to allow anyone to create software applications by typing in simple, English-language prompts—a process commonly referred to as “vibe coding.”

In a pre-scripted demo, an OpenAI researcher asked ChatGPT to create a web application that could teach his partner French through interactive games and flashcards. The chatbot did so within minutes, writing more than 300 lines of code.

The release follows a year of massive revenue growth for the company, which is still losing money at a rapid clip as it races to develop AI models with humanlike intelligence. OpenAI has largely shaken off concerns over its unstable governance structure and the loss of key top executives, some of whom have started their own companies.

Investors are betting that technology advances like GPT-5 will continue powering the startup's growth and allow it to spearhead an economic transformation that is already well under way.

OpenAI is in early talks with venture firm Thrive Capital for a secondary stock sale that would value it at $500 billion, people familiar with the matter said, two-thirds more than its most recent round. The deal, earlier reported by Bloomberg, would make OpenAI the world's most-valuable private company, according to data firm CB Insights. Last week, the startup also raised $8.3 billion from a who's who of startup investors, including Sequoia Capital and Fidelity Management.

In June, OpenAI said it hit $10 billion in annualized revenue, a common metric used in the tech world that multiplies the previous month's revenue by 12. It didn't disclose how much it projected to lose over the same period.

OpenAI said GPT-5 will be available for all at no cost starting Thursday. Paying ChatGPT users, who get higher limits for model usage and access to a more powerful version of GPT-5 depending on what they pay for, will also get the new model the same day. ChatGPT Education and Enterprise customers will receive access in a week.

OpenAI found new breakthroughs by teaching AI models how to “think” for longer, building a set of reasoning models that it integrated into ChatGPT. In February, it also released GPT-4.5, a more incremental upgrade to GPT-4, which came out March 2023. Earlier this week, OpenAI released two “open-weight” models, which are freely available to the public. It stopped short of releasing them as open-source, where the full model architecture and training code are available.

OpenAI Unveils GPT-5, Its Latest and Most Powerful Model, After Two-Year Wait

From: The Wall Street Journal

OpenAI on Thursday announced the release of GPT-5, its most advanced AI model, a culmination of more than two years of development that saw a series of setbacks and delays.

OpenAI周四发布了其最先进的AI模型GPT-5，这是两年多开发工作的结晶，期间经历了一系列波折和延迟。

culmination /ˌkʌl.mɪˈneɪ.ʃən/表示“结局；某事物的顶点（极点，最终成果）”，英文解释为“Something, especially something important, that is the culmination of an activity, process, or series of events happens at the end of it.”举个🌰：This little book represented the culmination of 8 years' work. 这本小书是8年工作的结晶。

📍《经济学人》（The Economist）一篇讲述德国工会正推动四天工作制的文章中提到：Mr Hofmann's salvo ahead of collective-bargaining talks later this year points to a new stage in European labour relations—and a culmination of decades of pushing for working hours to be cut. 霍夫曼在今年晚些时候的劳资集体谈判启动之前突然开出这一炮，表明欧洲的劳资关系进入了一个新阶段，几十年来推动削减工时的努力也达到了顶峰。

Interacting with the new technology “really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a Ph.D.-level expert,” Chief Executive Sam Altman said on a call with reporters Wednesday. He emphasized its ability to allow anyone to create software applications by typing in simple, English-language prompts—a process commonly referred to as “vibe coding.”

首席执行官山姆·阿尔特曼(Sam Altman)周三在与记者的电话会议上说：“与这项新技术互动真的感觉像在和任何话题的专家交谈，就像博士级别的专家一样。”他强调，该模型能够让任何人通过输入简单的英语提示来创建软件应用——这一过程通常被称为“vibe coding”。

PhD /ˌpiː.eɪtʃˈdiː/ 表示“（哲学）博士；（哲学）博士学位（doctor of philosophy 的缩写）”，英文解释为“abbreviation for doctor of philosophy: the highest college or university degree, or someone who has this”如：a PhD student/thesis 博士生/论文。

PhD 哲学博士中的“哲学”反映的是古典意义上对智慧和知识的追求，而非现代学科分类中的哲学专业。这一命名保留了历史延续性，同时象征着博士学位对原创性研究的普遍要求。简言之：PhD不是“学哲学的博士”，而是“通过哲学式探究（即理性研究）获得博士资格”。

prompt /prɒmpt/ 作名词，1）表示“（计算机屏幕上的）提示符（显示计算机已经准备好接受指令）”，英文解释为“a sign on a computer screen that shows that the computer is ready to receive your instructions”

📍在ChatGPT火热的今天，prompt通常指的是给模型的输入，用来激发或引导模型生成特定的输出或回答。简而言之，prompt是指用户提供给语言模型的一段文字或命令，以便模型据此理解用户的需求并给出相应的响应或信息。例如，在与像ChatGPT这样的大语言模型交互时，用户提出的问题或指令就是一个“prompt”。模型会根据这个prompt的内容分析、处理并生成回答或执行相关的任务。Prompt对于大语言模型来说是非常关键的，因为它直接决定了模型如何理解和回应用户的需求。

📍prompt中文里有译为“提示词”，prompt engineering 就是“提示工程/提示词工程”。

2）表示“（给演员的）提词，提白”，英文解释为“words that are spoken to an actor who has forgotten what he or she is going to say during the performance of a play”

3）作动词，表示“促使；导致；激起”，英文解释为“to make sb decide to do sth; to cause sth to happen”举个🌰：His speech prompted an angry outburst from a man in the crowd. 他的讲话激起了人群中一男子的愤怒。

📺美剧《斯巴达克斯：血与沙》（Spartacus: Blood and Sand）中的台词提到：One cannot but wonder what would prompt such an act 不知他们为何遭此不幸。

4）作动词，表示“（尤指）给（演员）提词”，英文解释为“to help someone, especially an actor, to remember what they were going to say or do”举个🌰：I forgot my line and had to be prompted. 我忘词了，只好让人提词。

vibe /vaɪb/ 表示“（某地、某种局面或某支曲子的）气氛，氛围”，英文解释为“the mood of a place, situation, person, etc. and the way that they make you feel”举个🌰：The music has a soothing vibe. 这种音乐能让人放松。

📍Vibe Coding（氛围编程）是今年很火的一个概念，指的就是编程纯通过AI来完成，开发者通过描述需求（而非手动编写代码）下达指令让AI工具（大语言模型）自动生成、调试或优化代码。其核心理念是“通过感觉（vibes）编程”，即开发者专注于创意和逻辑设计，而将技术细节交给AI处理。

In a pre-scripted demo, an OpenAI researcher asked ChatGPT to create a web application that could teach his partner French through interactive games and flashcards. The chatbot did so within minutes, writing more than 300 lines of code.

在一个预设脚本的演示中，一名OpenAI研究人员要求ChatGPT创建一个网络应用，可以通过互动游戏和抽认卡教他的伴侣学习法语。该聊天机器人在几分钟内就完成了这项任务，编写了300多行代码。

scripted /ˈskrɪp.tɪd/ 表示“（讲话或广播）使用稿子的，照稿子念的”，英文解释为“A scripted speech or broadcast has been written before it is read or performed.”举个🌰：He read from a scripted speech and refused to answer any questions at all at the end of it. 他照着事先写好的演讲稿念，在最后的时候拒绝回答任何问题。

flash card /ˈflæʃ ˌkɑːd/ 表示“（上有单词或图片的）教学卡片；抽认卡”，英文解释为“a card with a word or picture on it that is used to help students learn”

The release follows a year of massive revenue growth for the company, which is still losing money at a rapid clip as it races to develop AI models with humanlike intelligence. OpenAI has largely shaken off concerns over its unstable governance structure and the loss of key top executives, some of whom have started their own companies.

在此次发布之前，该公司实现了长达一年的收入大幅增长，但随着该公司加速开发具有类人智能的AI模型，目前仍在快速亏损。OpenAI已在很大程度上消除了外界对其治理结构不稳定和顶级高管流失的担忧，其中一些离职高管已自立门户。

at a fast/good clip表示“快速，迅速”，英文解释为“fast”举个🌰：We set off at a good clip, but we gradually slowed down. 我们出发时速度很快，可是后来渐渐慢了下来。

Investors are betting that technology advances like GPT-5 will continue powering the startup's growth and allow it to spearhead an economic transformation that is already well under way.

投资者押注，像GPT-5这样的技术进步将继续为该初创公司的增长提供动力，并使其能够引领一场已在深入进行的经济转型。

startup / start-up /ˈstɑːt.ʌp/ 表示“刚起步的小企业，新兴小型企业；初创公司”，英文解释为“a small business that has just been started”如：start-up costs 创业成本，举个🌰：Start-ups are very vulnerable in the business world. 商界中刚起步的小企业非常脆弱。

spearhead /ˈspɪə.hed/ 表示“领导（攻击、行动等）；充当…的先锋；带头做”，英文解释为“to lead something such as an attack or a course of action”举个🌰：He will be spearheading our new marketing initiative. 他将会负责推行我们新的营销计划。

OpenAI is in early talks with venture firm Thrive Capital for a secondary stock sale that would value it at $500 billion, people familiar with the matter said, two-thirds more than its most recent round. The deal, earlier reported by Bloomberg, would make OpenAI the world's most-valuable private company, according to data firm CB Insights. Last week, the startup also raised $8.3 billion from a who's who of startup investors, including Sequoia Capital and Fidelity Management.

知情人士称，OpenAI正在与风险投资公司Thrive Capital就二次售股进行早期谈判，该交易对OpenAI的估值将达到5,000亿美元，比最近一轮融资的估值高出三分之二。据数据公司CB Insights称，这笔由彭博(Bloomberg)率先报道的交易将使OpenAI成为全球最有价值的非上市公司。上周，该初创公司还从一众知名初创公司投资者那里筹集了83亿美元，其中包括红杉资本(Sequoia Capital)和富达管理(Fidelity Management)。

who's who指某个领域中最重要、最知名或最有影响力的人物（或机构）的集合，类似于中文里的“名流云集”“顶尖人物榜”或“权威名单”。源自英国年鉴《Who's Who》（《名人录》），该书自1849年起收录社会各领域杰出人物的传记，后演变为泛指“精英群体”的表达。举个🌰：The guest list was a who's who of Hollywood. 宾客名单是好莱坞的顶级明星阵容。

In June, OpenAI said it hit $10 billion in annualized revenue, a common metric used in the tech world that multiplies the previous month's revenue by 12. It didn't disclose how much it projected to lose over the same period.

今年6月，OpenAI表示其年化收入达到100亿美元，这是科技界常用的一个指标，即将上个月的收入乘以12。该公司没有透露预计同期亏损多少。

annualized /ˈæn.ju.ə.laɪzd/ 表示“按年计算的”，英文解释为“(of an amount or number) calculated over a year”举个🌰：Exports fell at an annualized rate of 12.3 percent, while imports rose at a 7.5 percent pace. 从年度总额来看，出口下降了12.3%，而进口上升了7.5%。

metric /ˈmet.rɪk/ 作形容词，表示“公制的，米制的”，英文解释为“using or relating to a system of measurement that uses metres, centimetres, litres, etc.”举个🌰：The recipe is given in both metric and imperial measures. 制作方法以公制和英制两种计量方法标出。

作名词，它通常表示“度量标准”或“衡量指标”。它用于描述一种可以量化或衡量某个事物的标准或指标，英文解释为“a standard or measure for assessing something”。

OpenAI said GPT-5 will be available for all at no cost starting Thursday. Paying ChatGPT users, who get higher limits for model usage and access to a more powerful version of GPT-5 depending on what they pay for, will also get the new model the same day. ChatGPT Education and Enterprise customers will receive access in a week.

OpenAI表示，从周四开始，GPT-5将免费向所有人开放。付费的ChatGPT用户也将在同一天获得这款新模型；这些用户可获得更高的模型使用上限，并能根据其付费等级使用更强大版本的GPT-5。ChatGPT教育版和企业版客户将在一周后获得使用权限。

OpenAI found new breakthroughs by teaching AI models how to “think” for longer, building a set of reasoning models that it integrated into ChatGPT. In February, it also released GPT-4.5, a more incremental upgrade to GPT-4, which came out March 2023. Earlier this week, OpenAI released two “open-weight” models, which are freely available to the public. It stopped short of releasing them as open-source, where the full model architecture and training code are available.

OpenAI通过教AI模型如何进行更长时间的“思考”取得了新的突破，建立了一套推理模型并将其集成到ChatGPT中。今年2月，该公司还发布了GPT-4.5，这是对2023年3月推出的GPT-4的一次增量升级。本周早些时候，OpenAI发布了两款“开放权重”模型，公众可以免费使用。但该公司并未将其作为开源模型发布；开源模型会提供完整的模型架构和训练代码。

integrate /ˈɪn.tɪ.ɡreɪt/ 1）表示“使合并，使成为一体”，英文解释为“to combine two or more things in order to become more effective”举个🌰：You need to integrate exercise into your normal life. 你必须让锻炼成为你日常生活的一部分。

2）表示“（使）融入（某社会或群体）；（使）成为一体”，英文解释为“to mix with and join society or a group of people, often changing to suit their way of life, habits, and customs”举个🌰：He seems to find it difficult to integrate socially. 他似乎觉得很难与别人打成一片。

incremental /ˌɪŋ.krəˈmen.təl/ 表示“增加的；递增的；小的”，英文解释为“in a series of amounts”举个🌰：Most research proceeds by small incremental advances. 大多数的研究是渐进式的。
