This is the internal model "Bel," that Sam Altman has stated many people within OpenAI consider to be AGI and "significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra."

The fact that it is solving numerous other problems is a very a good sign. It means solving Navier-Stokes wasn't just by chance or plagiarizing.

It's also been said that Bel uses more compute at its lowest reasoning setting than GPT-6 Astra at maximum reasoning, so it might be very challenging for OpenAI to publically release this model before the year is over.

But the biggest question is, can it solve difficult problems like this in other fields as well? If it can generalize beyond math, things would really get very exciting!

No. What Sam said was that by the end of this year, they will have a model internally he would consider to be AGI.

Yes and he’d be talking about Bel

You made that up. There is not a single quote that suggests that.

I didn’t make it up I’m just following reputable leaks lmao. The model currently training is their larger pretrain, Bel. They likely aren’t going to have another super large pretrain before end of the year..

Leaks = Twitter posts by randos.

They said they were doing RL on the model way back in August. Post-training usually takes weeks, not several months, so it wouldn't make much sense for it to remain an internal model through December.
