ChatGPT-5 Faces Criticism Amid Rising Competition in the Field of Artificial Intelligence
According to Cointelegraph, the release of ChatGPT-5 has sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with many users expressing their disappointment, considering that its capabilities have been exaggerated by Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. The main complaints included strict usage limits and the inability to revert to previous models, prompting some to turn to alternative platforms.
Altman responded via X, announcing a doubling of usage limits for Plus subscribers and allowing them to choose to continue using the GPT-4o model, describing GPT-5 as a "significant upgrade" and a step towards artificial general intelligence (AGI).
This comes at a time when competition is increasing from decentralized open-weight AI models, which provide users with greater freedom and higher transparency compared to centralized models. Among the prominent competitors is DeepSeek, which launched the Prover V2 model dedicated to mathematical applications in April, along with updating its general model DeepSeek R1-0528 in May, which achieved competitive performance against the best models in the market.
Since January, downloads of the DeepSeek app have exceeded 75 million, reflecting the accelerating change in the AI market, where major companies no longer monopolize the race, but face a real challenge from more open and flexible solutions.
