The company's main revenue comes from enterprise customers who pay for an enhanced version of ChatGPT. The last major update, GPT-4, was released a year ago and was followed by GPT-4 Turbo in 2023 to address an issue of the model sometimes refusing to answer prompts. OpenAI hopes that GPT-5 will be more reliable and impress both the public and enterprise customers.
