OpenAI says 80 to 90 percent of its research already targets GPT 7 and beyond

OpenAI head of applied research Boris Power stated that the vast majority of the company's research efforts are currently focused on future iterations including GPT 7 and GPT 8. By deprioritizing incremental improvements to current models, the company is shifting its long-term strategy toward successive generations of AI technology. This approach suggests that OpenAI views near-term model updates as secondary to the foundational development required to achieve significantly more advanced capabilities.
