👀 OpenAI Japan reveals 'GPT-Next'

OpenAI Japan's CEO, Tadao Nagasaki, revealed hints about the company's upcoming release at a Tokyo business summit.

He presented a graph showing OpenAI's trajectory, which included a mysterious "GPT Next" model slated for 2024.

This suggests a major update is coming by year-end. The new model is anticipated to be approximately 100 times more powerful than GPT-4, indicating a significant leap in AI capabilities.

💰Ilya Sutskever’s startup, Safe Superintelligence, raises $1B

The company plans to use the funds for computing power and hiring researchers in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv. Reuters reports that SSI is now valued at $5 billion.

Sutskever previously led OpenAI's Superalignment team before leaving the company following a disagreement with CEO Sam Altman and other board members.
