OpenAI Shifts Strategy as Scaling Limits Emerge, Orion model shows GPT improvements are slowing down
This Reddit thread on the r/singularity subreddit is a discussion about a recent article in The Information concerning OpenAI's shift in strategy towards creating "smarter" AI models rather than focusing solely on scaling models up with more computing power. The article claims that OpenAI's upcoming Orion model demonstrates a slowdown in the rate of improvements seen with previous models such as GPT-3 and GPT-4, suggesting that traditional scaling methods may be reaching their limits. This shift in strategy has led OpenAI to create a "foundations" team dedicated to finding new ways to improve AI models as high-quality data becomes increasingly scarce. The thread's commenters debate the implications of this shift, with some arguing that it is a natural progression in AI development while others express concerns about the potential limitations of current approaches. https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1gnltil/openai_shifts_strategy_to_slower_smarter_ai_as/
