Unveiling: OpenAI’s Orion Model Evolved from GPT-4 Falls Short of Expectations – The Limitation of the Transformer Paradigm?

The Information website reports on insider news from OpenAI that the new model code-named Orion is not a significant leap forward from GPT-3 to GPT-4, unlike the transition from GPT-3. The Information also suggests that Orion may not perform reliably better than current models in certain areas like coding. This challenge has prompted OpenAI to assemble a team to explore long-term development strategies as there is a lack of new data to train models with. One possible approach is to use synthetic data from other models to train Orion or enhance post-training quality processes. The challenges in AI model development are not unique to OpenAI, as previous reports of issues with Gemini 2.0 indicate a potential turning point in the Transformer model lineage.

TLDR: The new OpenAI model Orion may not be a significant improvement over current models, prompting the need for alternative data training strategies. Issues in AI model development are not unique, signaling a potential shift in Transformer model evolution.
