OpenAI prepares to launch GPT-5 in August, The Verge reports
(Reuters) -Artificial intelligence pioneer OpenAI plans to launch its GPT-5 model as early as August, The Verge reported on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the plans.
The new model, which was expected to launch this summer, will be positioned as an AI system that incorporates distinct models and can perform different functions as opposed to just a single AI model.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The Microsoft-backed startup's GPT-5 will incorporate its o3 model along with other technologies, CEO Sam Altman had said in February, in a bid to simplify its offerings.
The startup ultimately aims to merge the o-series and GPT-series models as it looks to create AI systems that can utilize all available tools and handle a variety of tasks.
"While GPT-5 looks likely to debut in early August, OpenAI's planned release dates often shift to respond to development challenges, server capacity issues, or even rival AI model announcements and leaks," according to the report.

Microsoft launches AI-based Copilot Mode in Edge browser

REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes/File Photo (Reuters) -Microsoft on Monday launched a new "Copilot Mode" on its Edge browser that uses artificial intelligence to improve the browsing experience, as the tech giant rushes to compete with rivals launching AI-based browsers and web search features. Copilot Mode can help carry out tasks, organize browsing into topic-based queries and compare results across all open tabs without requiring users to switch between them, Microsoft said. The update comes at a time when tech companies have rolled out several AI-powered online search tools. Nvidia-backed startup Perplexity AI launched its Comet browser earlier this month, while Reuters reported on OpenAI's upcoming AI browser. Rival Alphabet earlier this year launched "AI Mode", an AI-only search feature on Google, and last week reported improvements in user engagement on such features. Microsoft said, under the new feature, users will see a page with a single input box combining chat, search and web navigation features. Copilot will also support voice navigation for browsing in Edge, the company added. The users will also soon be able to give Copilot permission to access additional browser context, such as user history and credentials, to take more concrete actions like making bookings or managing errands. Copilot will only be able to access browsing content when users enable it, and will provide visual cues to let users know when it is active in the background, Microsoft said. The feature will be available for free across Copilot markets in Windows and Mac PCs for a limited time and users can choose to opt out of it through Edge settings.

Oil prices rise on EU trade deal and US-China tariff truce talks
SINGAPORE: Oil prices climbed on Tuesday as market sentiment improved following a US-EU trade agreement and discussions to extend the US-China tariff truce. Brent crude futures rose 24 cents, or 0.34%, to $70.28 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude increased 22 cents, or 0.33%, to $66.93. Both benchmarks had surged over 2% in the previous session, with Brent hitting its highest level since July 18. The US-EU trade deal, which imposes a 15% tariff on most EU goods, avoided a full-scale trade war that could have disrupted nearly a third of global trade and weakened fuel demand forecasts. Further supporting prices were reports of potential progress in US-China trade talks. Senior economic officials from both nations met for over five hours in Stockholm on Monday, with discussions set to continue on Tuesday. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions added to market volatility. US President Donald Trump issued a new 10 to 12-day deadline for Russia to show progress in ending the Ukraine war or face sanctions. Trump warned of penalties on Russia and buyers of its oil exports if no progress is made. 'Trump's comments reignited fears that Russia's oil flows would be impacted,' said ANZ senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes. He noted that the EU's latest sanctions, including a lower price cap on Russian crude and restrictions on refined products, also contributed to supply concerns. - Reuters
