Twelve Days of Livestreams Conclude, but GPT-5 Is Still a No-Show…

On December 4th (local time), OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced on social media that there would be a live stream every day for the next 12 business days.

Over the course of these 12 livestreams, OpenAI showcased several new products and prototypes. Time flew by, and here’s a recap of what OpenAI unveiled during these 12 days:

  • Day 12: OpenAI Unveils o3 Models: 87.5% on AGI Benchmark

  • Day 11: Mac ChatGPT Adds Many Apps, Ultimate Feature Tomorrow

  • Day 10: OpenAI Launches “ChatGPT Hotline” Late at Night: Chat Directly via Phone Without Internet Connection

  • Day 9: OpenAI Releases Full-Powered o1 Model API with 60% Cost Reduction

  • Day 8: ChatGPT Search

  • Day 7: Projects in ChatGPT

  • Day 6: Advanced Voice with Video & Santa Mode (Real-time Voice Calls & Christmas-Themed Skin)

  • Day 5: ChatGPT in Apple Intelligence

  • Day 4: Canvas

  • Day 3: Sora

  • Day 2: OpenAI’s Reinforcement Fine-Tuning Research Program

  • Day 1: o1 & ChatGPT Pro

Reflecting on the events, while the mid-point highlights included the video-generation model Sora and the next-generation reasoning model o3 Series, their somewhat underwhelming performance didn’t live up to the hype of a 10-month delay. Most notably, the much-anticipated GPT-5 did not make an appearance, sparking concerns within the industry about the future of OpenAI and foundational large language models.
