Sam Altman: Facing Compute Bottleneck, OpenAI's New Release May Be Delayed

BlockBeats News, April 2nd, OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman announced that the release of OpenAI's new version may be delayed, as they are currently facing a compute bottleneck, causing occasional slowdowns in their service.

BlockBeats previously reported that on February 12th, Sam Altman mentioned plans to launch GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 in the coming weeks or months. He also stated yesterday that they will release a new open-source weighted language model with reasoning capabilities in the next few months. An open-source weighted language model refers to a model that can be publicly used, downloaded, modified, or deployed. While not as open as fully open-source models, this marks a significant shift compared to the fully closed GPT-3 and GPT-4. OpenAI partially open-sourced the GPT-2 model in February 2019 and completed full open-sourcing in November of the same year.
