OpenAI is planning to combine multiple products (features or models) into its next foundational model, which is called GPT-5.

ChatGPT currently has too many capable models for different tasks. While the models are powerful, it can be confusing because all models have identical names.

In a Reddit AMA thread, Jerry Tworek, who is a VP at OpenAI, suggested that there are plans to bring some current models and their capabilities together with the next foundational model.

GPT-5 will also make the existing models significantly better at everything.

"GPT-5 is our next foundational model that is meant to just make everything our models can currently do better and with less model switching," Jerry Tworek, who is a VP at OpenAI, wrote in a Reddit post.

It makes sense for OpenAI to reduce the number of models it has and bring some of them together under the multimodal GPT-5, which might also support reasoning.

At the moment, OpenAI is focusing on building the best coding model called Codex, which is an AI agent that helps software engineers achieve their tasks.

The Codex-1 model is built on top of the o3 reasoning model, and OpenAI has plans to ship further updates to turn it into the best coding model.
