In recent news, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and research scientist Alexander Wei announced that the highly anticipated GPT-5 is set to be released. This announcement has drawn widespread attention, especially against the backdrop of their simultaneous declaration that a new model from the company won a gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Although expectations for GPT-5 are high, Altman and Wei emphasized during the announcement that GPT-5 is not the model that won the gold medal at the IMO.

Altman stated that the winning model is an experimental research result that uses new technologies that will be applied to other models in the future. This model demonstrated mathematical abilities far beyond the current models, while the upcoming GPT-5 will not possess the same level of mathematical ability. He pointed out that although users will be satisfied with GPT-5, similar capabilities to those that earned the gold medal at the IMO will not be released in the coming months.
At the same time, the community's heated discussions have intensified due to a model identifier named "gpt-5-reasoning-alpha-2025-07-13" appearing in an open benchmark test GitHub repository. The emergence of this new model has sparked discussions about its features and potential capabilities, especially in the context of user expectations for how it could enhance daily application experiences.
Altman's statement clearly guided market expectations. He emphasized that although GPT-5 will provide users with a surprising experience, its mathematical capabilities will differ from those of the model that performed exceptionally well at the IMO. This distinction provides users with clearer expectations, helping them understand the actual capabilities and application scenarios of the upcoming model.
In the coming months, the AI field will continue to follow the release of GPT-5 and the new breakthroughs and applications that OpenAI will bring in the ever-evolving artificial intelligence technology. It is expected that this new model will bring more surprises and value to users.
Key Points:
🌟 GPT-5 is about to be released, and OpenAI's CEO clearly stated that this model is not the one that won the gold medal at the IMO.
🧮 The model that won the gold medal at the IMO is an experimental research result; GPT-5 will not have the same level of mathematical ability.
🚀 Discussions within the community about the new model have become increasingly intense, with hopes that the release of GPT-5 will bring a new experience.
