OpenAI made an exciting announcement on Friday regarding updates to its latest model, aiming to make it “warmer and friendlier.”
The highly anticipated launch of GPT-5 by OpenAI was met with some challenges, as CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that the process was not as smooth as expected. Some users even expressed a preference for the previous model, GPT-4o.
In response to user feedback, OpenAI has implemented subtle changes in the update to address concerns and make GPT-5 more approachable. The company emphasized that the adjustments are aimed at adding small, genuine touches like “Good question” or “Great start,” rather than mere flattery.
During a recent dinner with journalists, OpenAI executives discussed their future plans beyond GPT-5. However, the rocky launch of the latest model remained a prominent topic of discussion. VP Nick Turley noted that while GPT-5 was initially perceived as “very to the point,” the latest update aims to infuse a sense of warmth into the model.
