Efforts to develop OpenAI's next major model, GPT-5, are still behind schedule, with results that have yet to justify the huge costs. New report In the Wall Street Journal.
This resonates. Early report OpenAI is exploring new strategies, the information said. The GPT-5 may not represent as big a step forward as previous models.. But the WSJ story includes more details about the 18-month development of the GPT-5, codenamed Orion.
OpenAI has reportedly completed at least two large-scale training sessions aimed at improving a model by training large amounts of data. The initial training run went slower than expected, hinting that a larger run would be time-consuming and costly. While the GPT-5 reportedly performs better than its predecessors, it's still not advanced enough to justify the cost of keeping the model running.
The WSJ also reports that instead of relying solely on publicly available data and licensing deals, OpenAI hires people to create new data by writing code or solving math problems. It is using composite data created by its other models o1.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company said before. The model codenamed Orion will no longer be released. this year
