OpenAI would not release “o3” as a stand-alone artificial intelligence (AI) model, as the ChatGPT maker looked to simplify its products, CEO Sam Altman said on Wednesday.

The Microsoft-backed start-up would release a GPT-5 model as a comprehensive AI system that would incorporate o3 along with other technologies, he said in a post on X.

OpenAI had unveiled o3 and o3 mini models in December 2024.

Its announcement comes at a time when companies in the US are facing greater investor scrutiny over their massive spending on the technology, after Chinese start-up DeepSeek unveiled a low-cost AI model last month.

“We want to do … a much better job simplifying our product offerings. We want AI to ‘just work’ for you; we realise how complicated our model and product offerings have gotten,” Altman said, without sharing any timeline for the release of these products.
