GPT-5 just launched. GPT-6 is already on the way.
That’s the message OpenAI CEO Sam Altman delivered to reporters in San Francisco last week, offering a rare glimpse into the company’s evolving product road map, as well as its missteps.
Altman didn’t give a release date for his company’s next artificial intelligence model, but he made clear that GPT-6 will be different and that it will arrive faster than the gap between GPT-4 and GPT-5. It won’t just respond to users but will adapt to them, and allow people to create chatbots that mirror personal tastes.
He said he sees memory as the key for making ChatGPT truly personal. It needs to remember who you are — your preferences, routines and quirks — and adapt accordingly.
“People want memory,” Altman said. “People want product features that require us to be able to understand them.”
