At a business conference this week, Tadao Nagasaki, the head of OpenAI's Japanese operations, made a remark that raised eyebrows. He mentioned "GPT Next," which has been widely interpreted as the upcoming next-generation Large Language Model (LLM).
However, as the discussion heated up, OpenAI came out and clarified the statement. The word "GPT Next" in quotation marks on Tadashi's slide was simply a metaphorical placeholder to show how OpenAI's models will evolve exponentially over time. The spokesperson also clarified that the line graph in the slide is illustrative and not an actual timeline for the OpenAI program.
