🚨 Today, OpenAI is expected to launch the much-anticipated GPT-5. Will it contain built-in privacy guardrails? Will it comply with the EU rules for general-purpose AI models? Beyond the hype, here’s what we should be watching for:
According to a GitHub page leaked on Reddit, GPT-5 will have five mode variants:
– gpt-5: Designed for logic and multi-step tasks.
– gpt-5-mini: A lightweight version for cost-sensitive applications.
– gpt-5-nano: Optimized for speed and ideal for applications requiring low latency.
– gpt-5-chat: Designed for advanced, natural, multimodal, and context-aware conversations for enterprise applications.
The leaked description states:
“GPT-5 is OpenAI’s most advanced model, offering major improvements in reasoning, code quality, and user experience. It handles complex coding tasks with minimal prompting, provides clear explanations, and introduces enhanced agentic capabilities, making it a powerful coding collaborator and intelligent assistant for all users.”

The introduction of enhanced agentic capabilities will require additional privacy features to help people navigate the new risks, especially those related to external permissions and access rights to third-party tools.
It should also contain user interface mechanisms to prevent the unintended leakage of personal information (as we saw happen last week).
Additionally, this will be the first major AI model launch after the rules for general-purpose AI models became enforceable in the EU (this weekend, on August 2nd).
If OpenAI wants to make it available in the EU, it will have to comply with these rules, including detailed transparency obligations and the implementation of a policy to comply with EU copyright law.
A reminder that OpenAI signed the EU Code of Practice for general-purpose AI models, so it should abide by it too.
