OpenAI's GPT-5 development faces delays and high costs

techcrunch.com December 21, 2024, 08:01 PM UTC

OpenAI's development of its new model, GPT-5, is reportedly delayed and not meeting expectations. A recent Wall Street Journal report indicates that the results do not justify the high costs involved in its creation. The report highlights that OpenAI has completed two large training runs for GPT-5, but the initial run progressed slower than anticipated. Although GPT-5 shows some improvement over earlier models, it has not advanced sufficiently to warrant its operational expenses. Additionally, OpenAI is exploring new strategies, including hiring staff to generate original data and using synthetic data from another model. The company has stated it will not release the GPT-5 model, codenamed Orion, this year.
