Welcome, humans. The fever pitch of GPT-5 rumors is hitting all time highs. The two dates folks have locked onto right now are today (July 31, ThursdAI) and August 5th. Why? Because SOMETHING is definitely going on. Multiple, separate, posts keep popping up showing GPT-5 spotted in the wild, like it appearing to power “Smart Mode” in Copilot Edge, or this one: Fun fact: there’s a new model called Horizon Alpha on OpenRouter that some think is GPT-5. We have no freaking clue if it’s really GPT-5, so many codenamed models have been flying around lately, but you can try it here for free during the testing! The first rumors we heard were August 5th. Why August 5th? Google has an event that day in Japan, and y’know AI companies love to swipe each other’s launches. Japan also features heavily in OpenAI’s latest cryptic post, so the internet sleuths be going wiiiild. However, there’s now a compelling reason to think it might come out today. Why today? Because on August 2nd, the next phase of the EU’s AI Act goes into effect, impacting any model released after August 2nd. Google said it plans to comply, while Meta said it plans NOT to comply. So launching just before the deadline could give OpenAI a third way (loop hole). More likely, if the August 5th rumor is likely true, then today would be a good day for OpenAI to release its new open source model… and perhaps they release THAT before GPT-5 next week. BRB, rapidly smashing that refresh button on any and all social feeds!
