GPT-5 delay expected as AI firms struggle with next-gen models

With ChatGPT approaching its second anniversary, we have been waiting for some sort of major announcement from OpenAI. Reports said a few weeks ago that the GPT-5 upgrade we've been waiting for could be rolled out in December. When said ChatGPT upgrade does roll out, it might not even be called GPT-5, given the somewhat negative connotations around the name. Instead, GPT-5 might be called something else. Orion is the internal name associated with OpenAI's next-gen AI model currently in development. Orion should be more powerful than GPT-4o and o1, the models OpenAI has launched this year. The latter is still in beta as it is. But Orion (GPT-5) might not be available to regular ChatGPT users like you and me initially. That's what The Verge claimed a few weeks ago. Reportedly 100 times more powerful than GPT-4, Orion would target enterprise users first. But fast-forward to mid-December, and we have several reports saying the same thing. The big AI firms, including OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, are struggling to train the next-gen, more powerful AI models that should succeed the current models. This implies that a GPT-5 delay might be in order, especially if OpenAI isn't happy with Orion's performance compared to GPT-4o and o1. While that might seem like a step back for the industry and a potential indication that the AI bubble might eventually burst, it's not bad news for the AI landscape overall. We should not expect innovation at break-neck speeds, especially given the nature of this particular type of research. Continue reading...
