Earlier this month, OpenAI unveiled GPT-4 Turbo, an improved and speedier version of the GPT-4 LLM currently powering ChatGPT Plus and even Microsoft Bing Chat. However, in a recent interaction with the Financial Times, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, officially revealed that the AI giant is also working on GPT-4’s successor—GPT-5.
Notably, this is the first time OpenAI has formally acknowledged working on a next-generation Large Language Model. Despite Sam Altman being aware of its existence, he stated that he has no idea about what the model could eventually be capable of. “Until we go train that model, it’s like a fun guessing game for us,” Altman claimed. He further added, “We’re trying to get better at it because I think it’s important from a safety perspective to predict the capabilities. But I can’t tell you here’s exactly what it’s going to do that GPT-4 didn’t.”
Altman also commented on OpenAI’s relationship with Microsoft, which has been backing the AI-driven company for some time now. Altman claimed that his relationship with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is “working really well” and that he aims to raise more from this relationship to build more advanced AI.
The Financial Times further reported that Altman has been focusing his time on two key things—how to build a “superintelligence” and finding the computing power to facilitate such a feat.
On that note, GPT-4, and the ChatGPT chatbot in general, have been facing stiff competition from rivals such as Google Bard, Meta’s suite of AI tools based on its own LLM–Llama 2, and more recently, Grok by Elon Musk’s xAI. As things stand, this fact-heating generative AI race is expected to only grow more intense.
