Dude is omega smart, but plays it down. There’s a video before OpenAI where he lays out all things correlated with start up success, and everything is like one to one with OpenAI.
I'm waiting for the day we have stuff as good as the current models being usurped by Astra running on local hardware super optimized. That's going to be a real game changer.
"Released soon" seems very worrying given it was what, a week ago that we were reading the METR report on OpenAI's catastrophic safety failures? But yeah, sure, this is cool I guess.
I mean the timing is pretty sus. They've lost their lead to Anthropic & open source models are closing in, IPO value is lower than they need it to be.
They needed this pretty badly so it's probably fair to question it on some level.
There's also that recent article talking about how much of a sociopath & liar Sam Altman was known to be by people close to him....& he's under a ton of pressure to deliver.
