The news of GPT-5 is becoming increasingly difficult to hide, and even OpenAI CEO Altman is no longer secretive——

He began to frequently create momentum in various public places, constantly stirring up the nerves of the technology circle.

At the Davos Economic Forum, Altman participated in a total of 4-5 events, and the key information disclosed included:

• If GPT-4 currently solves 10% of human tasks, GPT-5 should be 15% or 20% .
• GPT-2 is very bad, 3 is pretty bad, 4 is terrible, and 5 should be okay .
• If you compare the original iPhone and the latest iPhone 15, they will feel like they are completely different devices, and the same is true for AI.
• GPT-5 will develop in a direction that makes people feel uncomfortable .

Earlier, he also advised entrepreneurs at the YC Winter 2024 launch meeting:

It is not recommended to work around current GPT-4 limitations, most of which will be fixed in GPT-5 .

Build products with the idea that GPT-5 and AGI will be implemented "relatively quickly",

In addition, he also revealed in a conversation with Bill Gates:

In response to strong user requests, we are considering adding video capabilities to ChatGPT, but the team's main focus currently is inference.

Summary of known GPT-5 intelligence

Ultraman confirmed at the Davos event that his first priority is to release the next generation model, but it will not necessarily be called GPT-5.

Although the GPT-5 trademark has already been in the registration process.

Compared with GPT-4, reasoning ability is the key improvement direction, and it has made important progress in handling general tasks on behalf of users.

Soon you can ask the AI, what is my most important email today?

In addition to basic model capabilities, ChatGPT product feature updates also have a few spoilers.

Altman said that because people like ChatGPT’s voice capabilities, it will provide better voice quality .

(The current voice quality of ChatGPT is obviously better than most similar products. Does this mean there are better ones??)

OpenAI API will continue to become faster, more reliable, and cheaper, but there is always a balance between performance and cost. Ultraman once again uses the iPhone as an example:

Although battery technology has improved significantly, iPhone will still maintain a battery life of 1-1.5 days to optimize performance.

Altman believes that future AI will need to allow for "a fair amount of personalization" and that "this will make a lot of people uncomfortable" as the AI ​​will tailor services for different users based on their value preferences and where they may be. Provide different answers.

Also when asked to point out one surprising thing that GPT-5 can do, Altman responded: If I had to pick one, it would be that writing gets better.

One More Thing

In addition to GPT-5, everyone is also very concerned about the current situation of former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever after leading the board of directors' rebellion.

The biggest suspense surrounding this incident has gradually changed from "What did Ilya see?" to "Where did Ilya go?"

Surprisingly, Ultraman admitted when asked that he wasn't sure of Ilya's exact situation either...
