At 1 am this morning, OpenAI CEO and co-founder Sam Altman stated that for high-demand testers, the experience of trying out GPT-4.5 and feeling the AGI is much more profound than I expected!
This indicates that GPT-4.5 has entered the testing phase and is very close to being officially released.
And Musk announced last Sunday that he will live-stream the release of "the smartest AI on Earth" - Gork3 at 8 pm Pacific Time on Monday.
So, just a few hours before Gork3 is released, Altman is pulling off GPT-4.5, which is clearly aimed at his arch-rival Musk, and it has also sparked a heated discussion on social media.
Some netizens even suggested releasing GPT-4.5 at 7:30 pm Eastern Time.
Altman said that wouldn't be a good idea~
A netizen revealed that the OpenAI team is gathering to watch the Grok-3 live stream, and then decide whether to launch GPT-4.5. Altman will also participate in this live viewing session.
That is to say, if Grok-3 steals the limelight, OpenAI may unleash the big gun GPT-4.5 to suppress it.
A few years ago, I often stayed up late to watch the Oscars or Grammy Awards ceremonies. But today, for the Grok3 release event, I will get up at 5 am (Spanish time). I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting older, or if this is something only tech-obsessed teenagers would do ;)
This shows that there is a certain degree of uncertainty and concern within OpenAI, which is great! I hope to be able to use multiple excellent models, and constantly push the technology to the forefront through such competition.
Haha, these rumors are so interesting. If this really happens, it would be quite interesting, exciting and wonderful for the AI industry.
I hope that Grok 3 can bring real improvements, and not just progress in benchmark tests.
They will definitely be closely watching. In any case, it won't be easy to overshadow Grok 3. Grok 3 will be released at 8 pm Pacific Time and 11 pm Eastern Time, while OpenAI generally doesn't release products at this time. For a long time, everyone's attention will be focused on Grok 3.
Even if OpenAI decides to release something new in the morning, everyone, including all creators, will be busy making content like "10 uses of Grok 3", and the scene will be as lively as the Wild West era.
I've been trying to use Stable Diffusion, and I'm curious how the OpenAI team's decision on GPT-4.5 will affect the landscape of generative AI. Sam Altman's involvement undoubtedly adds weight to this discussion.
In any case, OpenAI has encountered a strong opponent this time, as Musk's Gork3 is said to be the latest AI model trained on 100,000 GPUs, with many innovative features.
