OpenAI’s Orion: The Next Leap?

Everyone's been eagerly awaiting OpenAI's next big thing, Orion.

But reports suggest this leap might not be as massive as expected.

Unlike the big jump from GPT-3 to GPT-4, Orion’s improvements seem smaller, especially in coding.

Is AI innovation starting to slow?

OpenAI’s response:

• Forming a brand-new “foundations team.”

• Exploring fresh strategies to overcome data limitations

• Using AI-generated data to enhance training

• Refining models in post-training to unlock hidden potential

OpenAI hasn’t confirmed Orion’s release yet.

This shift could reveal a lot about AI’s future.
