GPT-5 Development Hits Roadblocks: OpenAI's Data Dilemma and Executive Shake-Up
In a dramatic twist for AI enthusiasts, OpenAI's next-generation model, GPT-5, part of their ambitious Project Orion, has hit a significant snag. Plagued by exorbitant costs and a data shortage, each training run of GPT-5 comes with a stunning $500 million price tag. Despite these investments, improvements over GPT-4 appear minimal. Additionally, internal turmoil, highlighted by the departure of over two dozen executives in 2024, has further complicated matters. In a bid to tackle the data crisis, OpenAI is turning to experts to generate novel, high-quality training data. Meanwhile, CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that GPT-5 will not see a 2024 launch, leaving the AI world in suspense.
