GPT-5: OpenAI Faces Setbacks and High Costs - OpenAI's GPT-5, code-named Orion, is reportedly underperforming despite extensive development efforts. Two large-scale training runs have not sufficiently advanced the model to justify its high operational costs, according to the Wall Street Journal. OpenAI uses public data, licenses, bespoke data created by employed individuals, and synthetic data from another model, o1.
Despite these efforts, GPT-5's progress does not align with the company's previous launches. This has prompted OpenAI to explore new strategies. The release of GPT-5 has been deferred beyond the current year.
