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.

According to CEO Sam Altman, some of the delay stems from the company's emphasis on another model, GPT-01, designed specifically for scientific and academic applications. Additionally, OpenAI has seen significant leadership changes, with co-founder and Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever and Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati both departing.

These setbacks have opened doors for rival companies, which are rapidly mobilizing resources and securing funding to compete more effectively in the AI landscape. This translation maintains the essence of the revised article while ensuring originality.
