Sam said on Lex's podcast that people should temper their expectations for GPT-5, not in that it will necessarily suck, but that they want to ramp up ability slowly over time rather than discrete large steps.

Sounds like an excuse tbh. Esp when other companies are pushing ahead beyond OAI and open source is close to rivaling them

Yeah. Sam wants to productize $$$ what they have now rather than sink time and money training future models with uncertain outcomes. I suspect that difference in focus is what Ilya Sutskever means by wanting to “advance capabilities as fast as possible” in the in Safe Superintelligence Inc. announcement.

> If “gpt5” is only just starting it means recent training runs have had disappointing results and have been passed off as “Gpt4o” or whatever.

Sora probably took a lot of cluster time don't you think?
