Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently discussed the company's new reasoning model, o1, at the University of Michigan. He revealed that the model was nearly named GPT-5 but was ultimately given a different designation due to its unique capabilities. Altman emphasized that while the model is still in early development, it is expected to show significant improvements over time.
Altman also expressed concerns about the term artificial general intelligence (AGI), suggesting it has become overloaded and meaningless. He highlighted the rapid advancements in AI since 2019 and predicted that the next five years will bring even more astonishing progress. OpenAI's recent developments, including the launch of Swarm and partnerships with NVIDIA and Microsoft, are set to enhance their AI research and capabilities.
