After years of rapid growth, OpenAI may be facing a tough reality: their next model, Orion, might not show the same huge improvements as previous versions, raising questions about the future of AI progress.
OpenAI’s next flagship model, Orion, might not deliver the groundbreaking leap we’ve seen with previous releases. The report shows that, while Orion outperforms existing models, the improvement isn’t as dramatic as the jump from GPT-3 to GPT-4.
In some areas, like coding, Orion may not be noticeably better. As AI progress slows down, OpenAI is working to tackle this challenge. They’ve set up a special foundations team to find new ways to keep improving.
Some of these strategies include using synthetic data for training and making updates after training is complete. Despite the excitement around Orion, OpenAI has confirmed that it won’t release this model this year.
