OpenAI CEO says GPT-5 training isn’t happening yet

All issues AI appear to be transferring at mild velocity over the previous yr. New AI firms and AI-powered cell apps, net providers, and options have seemingly been rolled out on a regular basis ever since OpenAI’s ChatGPT debuted late final yr.

However, there may be one space the place the present chief of the house, OpenAI, is slowing down: Coaching of its subsequent language mannequin.

In a dialogue at a convention hosted by the Financial Occasions(opens in a brand new tab) in India, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defined that the corporate hasn’t even but began engaged on its subsequent mannequin, GPT-5.

“We have now a whole lot of work to do earlier than GPT-5,” Altman mentioned. “It takes a whole lot of time. We’re actually not near it.”

Again in March, one thousand tech luminaries comparable to Apple’s Steve Wozniak and Elon Musk signed a petition calling for a six-month pause in coaching AI language fashions “extra highly effective than GPT-4,” which is OpenAI’s most not too long ago launched mannequin.

The letter known as on AI coaching to proceed solely when ” we’re assured that their results can be constructive and their dangers can be manageable.”

Altman appeared to trace that issues round AI factored in considerably to OpenAI’s determination to not start work on GPT-5.

“There must be extra security audits,” he mentioned on the convention. 

However there are different causes too. Particularly, most of the huge platforms and tech firms which OpenAI used to coach their fashions aren’t thrilled that the corporate’s success is predicated off their freely accessible content material and knowledge. Firms like Reddit have begun instituting high-priced API subscription plans, particularly in response to AI coaching.

As for when GPT-5 will come out, that continues to be to be seen. OpenAI launched GPT-4 simply this previous March.

“I want I may let you know in regards to the timeline of the following GPT,” mentioned Altman.
