OpenAI CEO: the company does not currently train GPT-5, and it will not train in the short term.

April 14 news, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (Sam Altman) recently confirmed that the company is not training GPT-5, and "will not train in the short term."

GPT-5 is considered the successor to GPT-4, the big language model released by OpenAI in March this year.

Recently, an open letter asked laboratories like OpenAI to suspend the development of AI systems that are "more powerful than GPT-4".

At an event at MIT, Altman said the letter "lacks most of the technical details to understand what needs to be paused", noting that earlier versions claimed that OpenAI was currently training GPT-5. "We are not training now, and we will not train GPT-5 in the short term," Altman said. "so in that sense, this letter is a bit stupid."

However, not training GPT-5 does not mean that OpenAI is no longer expanding GPT-4 capabilities. Altman stressed that they were also considering the security of the work. "We are doing other things on top of GPT-4, and I think these are security issues, which have been completely ignored in the letter," he said.
