FWIW Altman sees it as a way to deploy AGI. He's increasingly comfortable with the idea they have achieved AGI and are moving toward Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI).

  twitter hype is out of control again. 

  we are not gonna deploy AGI next month, nor have we built it.

  we have some very cool stuff for you but pls chill and cut your expectations 100x!
I realize he wrote a fairly goofy blog a few weeks ago, but this tweet is unambiguous: they have not achieved AGI.

Do you think Sam Altman ever sits in front of a terminal trying to figure out just the right prompt incantation to get an answer that, unless you already know the answer, has to be verified? Serious question. I personally doubt he is using openai products day to day. Seems like all of this is very premature. But, if there are gains to be made from a 7T parameter model, or if there is huge adoption, maybe it will be worth it. I'm sure there will be use for increased compute in general, but that's a lot of capex to recover.
