I suspect GPT5 most likely will have these capabilities that is to hook into external tools such as calculators and other software applications as needed based on the prompts.

Bing chat already hooks into a web search tool. It shows "Searching for: ..." when it does that. This is kind of the point of Bing chat.

edit: a paper about how to hook up LLMs to any external tool https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.04761

I suspect GPT5 won't have that ability, when used in something like ChatGPT but OpenAI will happily let the people who want to do that themselves do it, and push the consequences to them.

And cut you off when you when the sh*t hits the fan.

BingGPT is currently doing this for web searches.

Pulling in web searches is a lot more benign than calling APIs or executing arbitrary code it generates.

Since the GPT-4 paper didn't reveal any details of their model, it's possible that GPT-4 is already using some variant of toolformer (https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.04761).

If it was, its mathematical abilities would be much better than they are.

GPT-4's mathematical abilities are exceptionally good compared to GPT-3.5.

You can already hook GPT models to whatever tools you need. Open ai are focused on improving implicit performance as much as possible.

They can already be given that ability by using something like langchain. You tell the LLM what tools it has available to it and it can call out to them if it wants.
