OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed the company is preparing to launch new AI tools this week, indicating the rollout will begin as early as today.
This came in a post he made yesterday on the X platform, where he wrote: "lots of new stuff for you to try this week! starting tomorrow." This announcement follows the wave of interest sparked by the GPT-4o model's image generation capabilities, which recently swept through social networks.
In recent weeks, the company has launched several new models and services, including 'o1-mini,' which focuses on logical reasoning for free tier users.
This came alongside the 'GPT-4.5' model and two digital agents: Operator and Deep Research.
The company also enhanced the original GPT-4o's capabilities, enabling direct image generation.
While many were anticipating the arrival of GPT-5, Altman clarified in a previous post back in March that it wouldn't be ready soon.
He attributed the development delay to a shortage of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), a crisis reportedly exacerbated by the widespread proliferation of 'Ghibli-style' AI images.
Based on our analysis, it's highly anticipated that some of the new updates could include the launch of the base o3 model as an open-source release, given that the current version is a smaller iteration named o3-mini.
Anticipation is also building for the launch of a new reasoning model named 4o-mini, which the OpenAI chief revealed during the first week of this month.

Notably, OpenAI also announced a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory last week, allowing it to recall previous user conversations during interactions.
Although details about the new tools remain unclear for now, anticipation is high within the tech community, eagerly awaiting what OpenAI will unveil in the coming hours and days.
