OpenAI announced a livestream for 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on Aug. 7, 2025, writing on X: "LIVE5TREAM THURSDAY 10AM PT." You might have noticed a typo — the "S" usually found in the word "livestream" is actually a 5.

That's right — OpenAI appears is teasing the highly anticipated launch of its new AI model GPT-5, including rumored features like better coding abilities, larger context windows, improved video generation with Sora, improved memory, and more.

Despite recent reports that GPT-5 was being delayed yet again, all signs point to "Go" for an August release, and you can see for yourself during the livestream later today.
