OpenAI is implementing a much-needed simplification of its roadmap, making it easier to understand what its AI models do.

As OpenAI has expanded and improved its AI models, the company has adopted a naming scheme that can leave even the most experienced tech user scratching their heads in bewilderment. In a post on X, CEO Sam Altman says the company is going to simplify its product roadmap.

Interestingly, Altman says the company will not ship its upcoming o3 model, instead incorporating o3 and other technologies in the upcoming GPT-5. In the interim, the company will release GPT-4.5, which Altman says will be its “last non-chain-of-thought model.”

In a reply to a comment, Altman revealed that users can expect GPT-4.5 in the coming weeks, while GPT-5 will be released in the coming months.
