After GPT-4o’s image generation feature took social media by storm, OpenAI is now all set to unveil new AI models. CEO Sam Altman has confirmed the company is launching new AI tools soon, teasing “a lot of good stuff” coming this week, with the first launch expected tomorrow.In an X post, the CEO of the Microsoft-backed AI startup wrote, “We’ve got a lot of good stuff for you this coming week! kicking it off tomorrow.”

OpenAI has been actively rolling out new features and models over the past couple of months, following a jolt to its dominance in the AI space from DeepSeek’s rising popularity. Recent launches include o1-mini, a reasoning model for free users; GPT-4.5, a new language model; two AI agents called Operator and Deep Research; and native image generation capabilities for GPT-4o.GPT-5, OpenAI’s latest and most advanced AI model, is unlikely to be launched on Monday due to delays caused by a GPU shortage after the Ghibli-style image trend, Altman confirmed in a X post in March.
it’s super fun seeing people love images in chatgpt.
but our GPUs are melting.we are going to temporarily introduce some rate limits while we work on making it more efficient. hopefully won’t be long!chatgpt free tier will get 3 generations per day soon.— Sam Altman (@sama) March 27, 2025Earlier this month, Altman said, “We are getting things under control, but you should expect new releases from openai to be delayed, stuff to break, and for service to sometimes be slow as we deal with capacity challenges.”
