OpenAI’s top execs hinted that future versions of ChatGPT could act much more independently, without as much human intervention.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has poured water on hopes for the next version of ChatGPT to be released in 2025.
Altman said “nothing that we are going to call GPT-5” will arrive in 2025 in a post on the social network Reddit.
The CEO explained that his company was instead focused on shipping GPT-o1, previously codenamed « Project Strawberry », a new AI model from OpenAI that will focus on « thinking through » problems before providing answers.
GPT-o1 may be more useful for specialized use cases such as science, mathematics, and academic research.
« All of these models have gotten quite complex and we can’t ship as many things in parallel as we’d like to », Altman explained in one Reddit post.
He added that OpenAI « face a lot of limitations and hard decisions about we allocated our compute towards many great ideas.
