In a 40-minute interview released June 19, Altman said GPT-5 is "probably coming sometime this summer" while explicitly warning it could slip on security testing, naming, and feature iteration, and teased an o3 "high-performance" tier plus Deep Research upgrades (the-decoder). He also admitted he's "0% excited" to run a public company as OpenAI signals an IPO within a year. Plan around a fuzzy window, not a date. When the CEO hedges the timeline this hard, your roadmap shouldn't assume a launch.
