OpenAI's GPT-5 Faces Delays and Escalating Costs
Originally slated for a mid-2024 release, OpenAI's Project Orion (GPT-5) has encountered technical hurdles leading to delays. The primary challenges involve inadequate data diversity and slower-than-expected training speeds. Researchers found that the training datasets lacked the anticipated variety, hampering the model's effectiveness. A notable training phase called "Arrakis" moved at a sluggish pace, indicating potential longer durations for future training sessions.
