(CTN News) – The design of the next iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro has been revealed through mock leaks, prompting case makers to adjust accordingly.

Leaker Sonny Dickson shared an image on X that shows the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max in matching cases. Aside from the standard cutout in the cases’ bodies for the cameras, there is another weirdly placed cutout on their right flanks.

The Capture button, a supposed new feature of the iPhone 16s, allows users to focus and take images and videos without using on-screen controls in the Camera app.

The button is pressure-sensitive and requires a finger contract to function. As a result, cases cannot cover these buttons without rendering them unusable, thus the cutout.

The Capture button is expected to be located in the same location as the mmWave 5G antenna on existing devices. It’s likely that this cutout is solely for connectivity purposes, and that the reports concerning the Capture button are false.

Furthermore, as commentators on Dickson’s article point out, the iPhone 16 lacks a visible flash, indicating that these cases are unlikely to be final products, even if they are otherwise accurate.

Another notable iPhone 16 difference evident in this dummy/case combo is the vertically placed cameras on the standard iPhone 16. This is likely to enable the phone to capture spatial video, similar to the Pro models, which can then be seen with an AR/VR headset like the Vision Pro.

Apple’s September launch window for iPhones is still a while off, but you can find all the rumors so far in our iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max hubs. And we will keep you updated until their expected announcement this fall.

There’s a rumor that OpenAI’s ChatGPT is getting more powerful.

Two experts who spoke to Business Insider say GPT-5, the new AI model, is expected to launch this summer. Some businesses have already tried out a demo of the tool and are pleased with its capabilities.

Using this technology, OpenAI aims to create artificial general intelligence (AGI), or systems that are more intelligent than humans.

According to this lofty, sci-fi premise, an AI can think for itself without human supervision, which can produce more AI models of its ilk without human intervention. A breakthrough of this magnitude may either destroy or enhance the world.

As the race to build the best artificial intelligence heats up, here is everything you need to know about GPT-5.

What is GPT-5?

GPT-5 is the successor to GPT-4, OpenAI’s fourth-generation chatbot for which a monthly fee is required.

As the name implies, GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer, an AI engine developed and improved by OpenAI to power ChatGPT. Like the processor in a computer, each new release of the chatbot is based on a brand new GPT with enhanced capabilities.

This AI chatbot can offer human-like responses and can even recognize and generate images and speech. Its successor, GPT-5, is reportedly expected to offer better personalization, make fewer mistakes and handle more types of content, such as video.

It is also worth noting that other companies, such as Google and Meta, have released their GPTs under their names, collectively known as large language models.

These artificial intelligence systems are based on the human brain and can generate text responses to conversations.

Is GPT-5 being trained?

In the latest report, OpenAI claims to have begun training GPT-5 in preparation for its release in mid-this year. Once its training is complete, the system will undergo various safety tests.

This process will include a “red team” test in which internal and external testers will test the bot and provide feedback on its strengths and weaknesses.

Based on a recent tweet from an OpenAI representative, it has been speculated that GPT-5’s learning process has begun.

In January, a leading researcher at OpenAI hinted that the company was training on a much larger GPU than usual. The revelation followed a separate tweet detailing how OpenAI had expanded its computing capacity.

The GPU, or graphics processing unit, is like a calculator that helps an AI model connect various types of data, such as associating an image with a text-based description.

According to Mr Altman, his company worked on GPT-5 on at least two occasions last autumn.

According to two people who attended his former venture capital firm Y Combinator’s alumni reunion last September, Mr Altman spoke of GPT-5 and its successor, GPT-6, as superior to their predecessors.

The CTN News reported in November that OpenAI was working on GPT-5, although no release date was announced.

Reports have also claimed that OpenAI’s boss has devised an audacious plan to procure the large quantities of GPUs required to train larger AI models.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Altman wants to raise as much as $7 trillion with the help of a global network of investors, governments, and energy providers to overcome supply shortages hindering technological progress.

What can GPT-5 do?

OpenAI’s chief spoke at the World Governments Summit in Dubai in February, saying that ChatGPT-5 will be more intelligent than its predecessors.

Mr Altman explained that this is more important than it may appear since these models are generally applicable. “So if it is a little bit smarter, it will be a little bit better at everything.”

According to Mr Altman, GPT-5 will require more data to train on, hinting at its brain power. He indicated that the plan is to use publicly available data sets from the internet and large-scale proprietary data sets provided by organizations. The last would include long-form writings or conversations, whichever format they take.

As Altman stated on Bill Gates’ Unconfuse Me podcast in mid-January, the multimodality concept will be important in the future: “Speech in, speech out. Images, eventually video. People clearly want that. We can push that further, but maybe the most significant progress will be in the area of reasoning ability..”

As a result, GPT-4 is currently capable of reasoning in very limited ways. Also, it is not reliable. If you ask GPT-4 most questions 10,000 times, one is likely to be pretty good, but it does not always know which one, and you want to get the best answer of 10,000 each time, so an improvement in reliability is necessary..”

GPT-5 versus GPT-4

To beat GPT-4, it must surpass GPT-4 Turbo, the next-generation model OpenAI released to subscribers in November.

The company’s most advanced artificial intelligence chatbot has knowledge of world events up to April 2023, as opposed to 2021 for GPT-4; it can analyze even longer prompts of up to 128,000 tokens or roughly the length of a 300-page book; it is better at following instructions; and it is capable of switching between tools based on user request, such as the Dall-E 3 image generator and Bing search engine.

GPT-4 has been tested by OpenAI and several researchers on real-life exams and has been shown to have a decent chance of passing the difficult chartered financial analyst (CFA) exam.

On the 2020 USA Biology Olympiad semifinal exam, it scored in the 99th to 100th percentile, aced the SAT reading and writing section, and excelled in the bar exam.

When will GPT-5 be available?

OpenAI has not yet announced GPT-5.

Also, it is unclear whether this project was affected by the turmoil at OpenAI in late November. On November 17, Mr Altman was ousted by the company’s board of directors.

Mr. Altman returned to the helm along with a new board following a period of tumult reminiscent of the dueling viewpoints on the future of artificial intelligence after five days of tumult.

Some ChatGPT users previously claimed the bot was running on a new AI model called GPT-4.5 Turbo, but that was false.

Looking at OpenAI’s GPT release timeline, we can see that the gap between updates is shrinking. In June 2018, GPT-1 was released, followed by GPT-2 in February 2019 and GPT-3 in June 2020.

The current free version of ChatGPT (GPT 3.5) was released in December 2022, followed by GPT-4 three months later in March 2023. Several recent updates have also been released, including a “turbo” version.

Will OpenAI announce GPT-5 at its developer day conference in November, or will June be the magic month again?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is nearly ubiquitous, occupying video and audio environments. In recent years, the K-pop music industry has used deep-fake technology to create groups that resemble actual individuals. Now meet Aitana, Spain’s first AI model.

Eternity and Mave, virtual female groups developed using artificial intelligence, have blurred the barriers between entertainment and technology. Whether we like it or not, these accelerating and frightening shifts are here to stay.

AI has recently made influencers one of its goals. Aitana Lopez, a 25-year-old AI-powered influencer from Spain, is a pioneer in the field. Switching lanes to her Instagram, @fit_aitana will strike you with eerie realism, as her “virtual soul” has deliberately developed a personality that is exceptionally lifelike and resembles the presence of a real-life model.

Aitana, created by Ruben Cruz, the creator of AI modeling business The Clueless, is a an AI model.

According to Euronews, Cruz’s breakthrough idea was fueled by the agency’s struggle to form genuine business relationships with real-life influencers. “Many projects were put on hold due to problems beyond our control,” the Clueless creator stated.

The Clueless describes Aitana, who is 25 years old, as a “strong and determined woman, independent in her actions and generous in her willingness to help others”. The AI model is also described as a Scorpio with a passion for video games and a commitment to fitness. Her vibrantly crafted design highlights Aitana as a standout with a multifaceted personality.

The Clueless Agency describes the AI influencer with eye-catching pink hair as an outgoing persona with “complicated humour and self-centeredness.”

The AI-powered “gamer at heart and fitness lover” was born on December 11, 1998. Her Instagram photos depict a digitally produced universe that reinforces the notion that she is engaging in real-world activities.

Following her trendsetting debut, the AI agency unveiled her other virtual companion, The Clueless’ second AI model, Maia Lima.

Similar to the controversy and criticism surrounding K-pop’s experimental experimentation, the rise of AI influencers has pushed unrealistic beauty standards.

While it is possible to focus on current technological advancements, this side of the virtual story is not without concerns for the future.
