OpenAI's long-awaited GPT-5 model nears release
OpenAI's GPT-5, the latest installment of the AI technology that powered the ChatGPT juggernaut in 2022, is set for an imminent release, and users will scrutinise if the step up from GPT-4 is on par with the research lab's previous improvements. Two early testers of the new model told Reuters they have been impressed with its ability to code and solve science and math problems, but they believe the leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5 is not as large as the one from GPT-3 to GPT-4. The testers, who have signed non-disclosure agreements, declined to be named for this story. OpenAI declined to comment for this story. GPT-4's leap was based on more compute power and data, and the company was hoping that 'scaling up' in a similar way would consistently lead to improved AI models. But OpenAI, which is backed by Microsoft and is currently valued at $300 billion, ran into issues scaling up. One problem was the data wall the company ran into, and OpenAI's former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever said last year that while processing power was growing, the amount of data was not. He was referring to the fact that large language models are trained on massive datasets that scrape the entire internet, and AI labs have no other options for large troves of human-generated textual data. Apart from the lack of data, another problem was that 'training runs' for large models are more likely to have hardware-induced failures given how complicated the system is, and researchers may not know the eventual performance of the models until the end of the run, which can take months. OpenAI has not said when GPT-5 will be released, but the industry expects it to be any day now, according to media reports. Boris Power, head of Applied Research at OpenAI, said in an X post on Monday: "Excited to see how the public receives GPT-5." 'OpenAI made such a great leap from GPT-3 to GPT-4, that ever since then, there has been an enormous amount of anticipation over GPT-5,' said Navin Chaddha, managing partner at venture capital fund Mayfield, who invests in AI companies but is not an OpenAI investor. 'The hope is that GPT-5 will unlock AI applications that move beyond chat into fully autonomous task execution." Nearly three years ago, ChatGPT introduced the world to generative AI, dazzling users with its ability to write humanlike prose and poetry, quickly becoming one of the fastest growing apps ever. In March 2023, OpenAI followed up ChatGPT with the release of GPT-4, a large language model that made huge leaps forward in intelligence. While GPT-3.5, an earlier version of the model, received a bar exam score in the bottom 10%, GPT-4 passed the simulated bar exam in the top 10%. GPT-4 then became the model to beat and the world came to terms with the fact that AI models could outperform humans in many tasks. Soon, other companies were catching on. The same year, Alphabet's Google and Anthropic, which is backed by Amazon and Google, released competitive models to GPT-4. Within a year, open-source models on par with GPT-4 such as Meta Platforms' Llama 3 models were released. Along with training large models, OpenAI has now invested in another route, called 'test-time compute,' which channels more processing power to solve challenging tasks such as math or complex operations that demand human-like reasoning and decision-making. The company's CEO Sam Altman said earlier this year that GPT-5 would combine both test-time compute and its large models. He also said that OpenAI's model and product offerings had become "complicated."

Indian space startups have run into a talent hurdle
New Delhi: India's private space startups are finding it hard to get top-notch talent as there aren't enough graduates trained in niche topics and specialized skills. And even the small number of candidates available prefer companies overseas because of low salaries back home. While companies are increasing their average pay and also training employees, niche talent in rocketry, propulsion technologies, photonics and sensors—the differentiating factors among space startups—is in short supply, according to founders, analysts and industry observers that Mint spoke with. Around 175 institutions in India offer undergraduate degrees in aerospace engineering, while 75 offer postgraduate courses, according toMint's analysis of five educational services platforms. Around 8,000 aerospace engineers graduated last year, accounting for just 0.5% of the 1.5 million engineers who pass out of Indian colleges annually. That includes the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), which is affiliated with the Union government's Department of Space. Chicken and egg situation But it's more like a chicken-and-egg situation: while there are few qualified candidates, the salaries also aren't good enough to encourage students to select such courses. While none of the startups disclosed their salary offers, citing confidentiality and competition, Mint found that freshers, working on low-value software engineering or satellite assembly projects, are offered packages as low as ₹3 million a year, and those with two-three years of experience get up to ₹6 million per annum. Such roles, however, are in tens and not even hundreds across India's 200-odd space startups. Companies say finding the right engineer is rare, while candidates blame a lack of jobs. 'About 30% of our hires are freshers directly out of colleges, but we recruit the rest from various industries such as automobiles," said Pawan Kumar Chandana, cofounder and chief executive of Hyderabad-headquartered Skyroot Aerospace. 'For most engineers that we hire, we've set up skilling and training programmes, and it takes about six months to a year for them to get ready to work on various projects." According to Anirudh Sharma, cofounder and chief executive of Bengaluru-based Digantara Research and Technologies, India doesn't have enough formal university courses or research programmes in skills such as photonics and optical engineering. 'For instance, National Institute of Technology, Warangal (in Telangana) ran about five batches and produced some of the best optical communications engineers in the country—but they are a finite pool, out of which some are employed across industries and others have moved abroad," he said. In most cases, startups like Bengaluru-based Bellatrix Aerospace hire from other engineering streams. 'For instance, we take recruits with chemical and metallurgical engineering backgrounds and train them to work on our proprietary rocket propulsion technology," said Yashas Karanam, co-founder and chief operating officer. Not many courses Specialized space courses are also rare. Towards the end of 2023, Pawan Goenka, chairman of government-affiliated Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (In-Space), had said that the agency is working with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to introduce space curricula in engineering institutes. On 28 July, In-Space announced the introduction of a short-term skill development course for 'space technology in agriculture" with Amity University, Noida. However, it is only a certificate course and does not offer the kind of deep dive that would produce the niche skills that Chandana, Sharma and Karanam are looking for. Fewer jobs Industry stakeholders said the lack of adequate talent is also due to fewer job opportunities. The Indian space industry at the moment is 'not offering opportunities that go beyond the existing roles at the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro)", said Narayan Prasad Nagendra, chief operating officer of Netherlands-based space services marketplace SatSearch. 'Since a mass exodus to the IT (information technology) sector in the 1990s, Isro has steadied the ship—and now sees engineers sticking with it for a decade or more. In my conversations, engineers who gather such levels of experience only look for career opportunities outside in Europe or Japan," said Nagendra. 'Indian space firms are yet to offer perks and salaries that go beyond what Isro or private global firms do, which leads to top talent leaving the country beyond a point." According to Chaitanya Giri, a space fellow at the global think tank Observer Research Foundation, it is still early since the privatization of the space sector only took place three years ago. Giri said the sector will never see demand in thousands or millions, but only hundreds, and that too for core products and niche applications. 'Getting talent from other industries is only a stop-gap solution because automobiles and other core sectors can always have more room for growth," he said. 'What is needed now are niche specialization courses at top universities, and generous research budgets," Guri said. 'Until that happens, India's space industry will remain starved of the kind of talent that helped the US build the global majors we know today."

LatentHeat2Comfort brings to you comfort without plug points
In a country where heatwaves scorch, winters bite, and electricity isn't always a guarantee, comfort often feels like a luxury — especially in rural areas, disaster zones, or power-starved urban pockets. But what if heating and cooling didn't need a power source at all? What if science could step in where infrastructure falls short? Hyderabad-based innovator Satyanarayana Kuchibatla has been turning that 'what if' into reality with Latent Heat2Comfort, a pioneering startup that leverages the principles of thermal energy storage to create instant, electricity-free solutions for both heating and cooling. The company's technology is a testament to how simple science, applied smartly, can drive sustainable change and human resilience. Satyanarayana gives us the hot and cold picture in an insightful conversation. Excerpts Could you take us back to your early years — was science always a part of your childhood curiosity? As a child, I enthusiastically participated in science exhibitions and developed unique models. I was very fortunate to have always had phenomenal mentors, be it for my school summer project on how seawater influences corrosion of steel, to my doctoral thesis on why two different bottles consisting of the same nanoparticles have different colours. All my projects were driven by curiosity, unlike most cases where a predefined problem is solved. My deep interest in science motivated me to do a master's degree in particulate materials from IIT Bombay and a PhD in materials science and engineering from the University of Central Florida. I bring years of research experience and training with a broad focus on surfaces and interfaces — understanding, controlling, and tuning the characteristics of materials that have an impact on nuclear energy, fuel cells, gas sensors, self-healing, radiation protection materials, and nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
