I think you should update approximately not at all from Sam Altman saying GPT-5 is going to be much better. Every CEO says every new version of their product is much better—building hype is central to their job.
That’s true for many CEOs (like Elon Musk) but Sam Altman did not over-hype any of the big OpenAI launches (ChatGPT, gpt3.5, gpt4, gpt4o, dall-e, etc.).
It’s possible that he’s doing it for the first time now, but I think it’s unlikely.
But let’s ignore Sam’s claims. Why do you think LLM progress is slowing down?
