OpenAI Explores Solutions for AI Progress Challenges

OpenAI is reportedly facing a slowdown in the improvement of its AI models, with its upcoming model, codenamed Orion, showing less advancement compared to previous iterations like GPT-4. To address this, OpenAI has formed a foundations team to explore new strategies, including using synthetic data for training and enhancing models post-training. Despite these efforts, Orion may not outperform existing models in certain areas, such as coding. OpenAI has not confirmed plans to release Orion this year.
