No GPT-5 yet, Altman says

Share post:

OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, has announced that the company has not started training GPT-5, the successor to GPT-4.

Altman highlighted the need for significant preparation before initiating GPT-5, stating that there is a lot of work to be done. He says OpenAI is currently exploring new ideas but is far from starting the development of GPT-5. This announcement follows OpenAI’s commitment to delay the development of the new model for an indefinite period.

Over 1,100 people, including Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, signed an open letter requesting AI researchers to put a six-month moratorium on training more powerful systems than GPT-4. Altman responded, admitting the letter’s lack of technical subtlety and confirming that OpenAI had not begun training GPT-5 and had no imminent intentions to do so.

Furthermore, OpenAI faces competition from large platforms and technology firms. These firms, whose material and data OpenAI utilized to train its models, are dissatisfied with the company’s success based on freely available information. In response, sites such as Reddit have created costly API subscription options, with a focus on AI training.

Altman stressed OpenAI’s dedication to risk assessment and safety procedures such as external audits, red-teaming, and safety tests. He emphasized the lengthy process of releasing GPT-4, which took more than six months to complete.

Altman also discussed OpenAI’s stance on regulating smaller AI businesses, emphasizing the company’s emphasis on self-regulation and the application of legislation to bigger corporations.
