As a sidebar, I’m still not sure if GPT-5 will be transformative due to its capabilities as much as its accessibility. All it really needs to do to be highly impactful is lower the barrier of entry for the more powerful models. I could see that contributing to it being worth the hype. Surely it will be better, but if more people are capable of leveraging it, that’s just as revolutionary, if not more.

It seems like a big part of GPT-5 will be that it will be able to intelligently route your request to the appropriate model variant.

That doesn’t sound good. It sounds like OpenAI will route my request to the cheapest model to them and the most expensive for me, with the minimum viable results.

Sounds just like what a human would do. Or any business for that matter.

That may be true but I thought the promise was moving in the direction of AGI/ASI/whatever and that models would become more capable over time.

Surely OpenAI would not be releasing this now unless GPT-5 was much better than it.
