OpenAI prepares to launch GPT-5 in August: Report
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 utilise 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.

Passwords under threat as tech giants seek tougher security
Agencies Fingerprints, access keys and facial recognition are putting a new squeeze on passwords as the traditional computer security method -- but also running into public hesitancy. "The password era is ending," two senior figures at Microsoft wrote in a July blog post. The tech giant has been building "more secure" alternatives to log in for years -- and has since May been offering them by default to new users. Many other online services -- such as artificial intelligence giant OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot -- require steps like entering a numerical code emailed to a user's known address before granting access to potentially sensitive data. "Passwords are often weak and people re-use them" across different online services, said Benoit Grunemwald, a cybersecurity expert with Eset. Sophisticated attackers can crack a word of eight characters or fewer within minutes or even seconds, he pointed out. And passwords are often the prize booty in data leaks from online platforms, in cases where "they are improperly stored by the people supposed to protect them and keep them safe," Grunemwald said. One massive database of around 16 billion login credentials amassed from hacked files was discovered in June by researchers from media outlet pressure on passwords has tech giants rushing to find safter alternatives. Tricky switchover One group, the Fast Identity Online Alliance (FIDO) brings together heavyweights including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and companies have been working on creating and popularising password-free login methods, especially promoting the use of so-called access use a separate device like a smartphone to authorise logins, relying on a pin code or biometric input such as a fingerprint reader or face recognition instead of a Hunt, whose website Have I Been Pwned allows people to check whether their login details have been leaked online, says the new systems have big advantages."With passkeys, you cannot accidentally give your passkey to a phishing site" -- a page that mimics the appearance of a provider such as an employer or bank to dupe people into entering their login details -- he the Australian cybersecurity expert recalled that the last rites have been read for passwords many times before."Ten years ago we had the same question... the reality is that we have more passwords now than we ever did before," Hunt many large platforms are stepping up login security, large numbers of sites still use simple usernames and passwords as transition to an unfamiliar system can also be confusing for have to be set up on a device before they can be used to log them if a PIN code is forgotten or trusted smartphone lost or stolen is also more complicated than a familiar password reset procedure."The thing that passwords have going for them, and the reason that we still have them, is that everybody knows how to use them," Hunt the human factor will remain at the heart of computer security, Eset's Grunemwald said."People will have to take good care of security on their smartphone and devices, because they'll be the things most targeted" in future, he warned.

Trump's America praises Pakistan, 3-time FATF grey lister, for counterterror gains in joint statement
In a scorching irony, Washington has praised Pakistan for its 'continued success' in containing terrorist groups, even though the country has a long history of supporting militancy and has been in FATF grey list. Against the backdrop of shifting US–India ties following President Donald Trump's tariff decision, Washington has praised Pakistan for its 'continued success' in containing terrorist groups that threaten regional and global security. 'The United States applauded Pakistan's continued successes to contain terrorist entities that pose a threat to the peace and security of the region and the world,' read a joint statement issued after counterterrorism talks in Islamabad. In a scroaching irony, Pakistan itself has a long history of supporting terrorist groups and was removed from the FATF grey list in October 2022 after multiple stints under heightened monitoring since 2008. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The latest round of discussions, held on Tuesday, focused on strategies to counter threats from groups such as the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), ISIS-Khorasan, and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The US also expressed condolences over recent attacks, including the Jaffar Express bombing and the school bus blast in Khuzdar. The talks came a day after Washington formally designated the BLA and its faction, the Majeed Brigade, as foreign terrorist organisations. The BLA, which has long waged an insurgency for Balochistan's independence, was first sanctioned by the US in 2019. 'Since 2019, BLA has claimed responsibility for additional attacks, including by the Majeed Brigade,' Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. The development coincided with Pakistan's army chief Gen Asim Munir's second visit to the US in less than two months. Arriving in Washington on Sunday, Munir held high-level meetings with senior political and military leaders and engaged with the Pakistani diaspora. Pak's long history of supporting terror and FATF list Pakistan has a long history of supporting terrorist groups. On multiple occasions, it has faced international scrutiny and sanctions. It was removed from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list in October 2022 after years of heightened monitoring, having been placed on the list several times since 2008, most recently in 2018. Pahalgam attack by Pak-backed terrorists The praise from Trump's US comes despite Pakistan's long-standing policy of using terrorism as a tool of foreign policy. Recently, Pakistan-backed and trained terrorists killed 26 innocent people in Pahalgam, triggering a sharp escalation in tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terror camps and militant hideouts across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
