OpenAI is reportedly developing new strategies to address a slowdown in AI improvement as the limits of current models become more evident. This comes as OpenAI tests a new model, code-named “Orion,” which, while surpassing previous models in performance, shows a less dramatic leap in capabilities compared to the transition from GPT-3 to GPT-4.
Employees who tested Orion observed that the model exhibits strong performance but with a smaller incremental improvement, sparking discussions about the challenges of advancing AI capabilities. As these models grow in complexity, enhancing performance becomes increasingly difficult, prompting OpenAI to explore innovative methods to sustain growth.
This development highlights the plateauing effect that AI researchers face as models reach new levels of sophistication, pushing OpenAI to strategize ways to break through these barriers and continue driving meaningful progress in artificial intelligence.
