OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, has confirmed that the company is not currently training a GPT-5 language model. Altman addressed this issue during a virtual event at MIT, where he emphasized that OpenAI is currently focused on upgrading and updating their existing GPT-4 model. He added that the company is working on addressing safety issues related to the model and that they had spent over six months training GPT-4 before its public release.
Altman also discussed some of the concerns raised in an open letter, allegedly signed by Elon Musk, calling for a pause in the development of large-scale language models. Altman noted that the letter lacked technical nuance and did not provide specific guidance on where the pause should occur. He emphasized the importance of increasing safety rigor as capabilities become more serious, and he stated that moving with caution is critical.
While OpenAI plans to continue being transparent, the company has not released any information on GPT-4’s training data or its architecture, construction, or other inner workings. This decision was based on concerns related to the competitive landscape and safety implications of large-scale language models like GPT-4.
Overall, Altman’s comments suggest that OpenAI is taking a measured approach to the development of language models and is focused on addressing safety concerns as it moves forward. While there is no GPT-5 in training, the company is committed to upgrading and updating its existing models to improve their performance and safety.
