According to Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, the company’s latest AI model, Orion, has not shown the expected level of improvement over its predecessor, GPT-3. Altman described this as a “speed bump” in the field of AI development. He acknowledged that while Orion is more capable than GPT-3 in some areas, the overall progress is not as significant as they had hoped. This revelation has sparked concerns about the potential slowdown in the rapid advancements witnessed in AI technology in recent years. Altman emphasized that OpenAI remains committed to pushing the boundaries of AI and will continue to invest in research and development. However, he cautioned that the path to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) may be more challenging than initially anticipated. The news has reignited discussions about the pace of AI progress and the potential implications for various industries and applications relying on cutting-edge AI capabilities.
