00:00OpenAI's big mysterious new AI model, Orion, is supposed to drop by December.
00:09Now, why is this so big?
00:11Because Orion is rumored to be up to 100 times more powerful than GPT-4, which is just crazy.
00:16But here's the thing, OpenAI is handling Orion a little differently this time around.
00:21Unlike GPT-4 and O-1, which were widely accessible,
00:24Orion isn't hitting chat GPT for us all to try out, at least not right away.
00:29Instead, OpenAI is working with a few key partners to roll it out gradually.
00:33Let's break it down.
00:34So what's really cooking with Orion, and why is OpenAI doing things this way?
00:39First off, OpenAI is partnering up with Microsoft again like they did for GPT-4 to host Orion on Microsoft's Azure platform.
00:46Some sources say it could even go live there as early as November.
00:49This model is seen as a huge step towards AGI Artificial General Intelligence,
00:54the level where an AI can think and learn like a human.
00:57OpenAI CTO Mira Mirati and some other key leaders recently left the company,
01:02and there's been a lot of buzz that these departures might shake things up.
01:05Could this be connected to Orion?
01:07Absolutely.
01:08OpenAI just raised a massive $6.6 billion to fund these AI ambitions,
01:14and is pushing towards restructuring as a for-profit entity.
01:17Basically, there's a lot at stake here.
01:19Now, some might wonder if Orion is just GPT-5 under a new name.
01:24I actually touched on this in one of my previous videos.
01:26While OpenAI hasn't confirmed that,
01:28insiders say it's definitely going to be seen as the next big step after GPT-4.
01:33Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, even dropped a cryptic post about winter constellations rising,
01:40hinting at Orion, which shows up in the night sky in winter.
01:43There's excitement building up, and even ChatGPT picked up on Altman's hint about Orion,
01:48though it got a bit creative, suggesting you could rearrange letters to spell Orion.
01:52Not quite, but nice try.
01:54So, what's inside Orion?
01:56Synthetic data, raw power, and AGI ambitions.
01:59The journey to Orion has been paved with some bold moves.
02:02Remember the O1 model OpenAI launched in September?
02:05Internally, it's codenamed Strawberry,
02:07and it was used as a base for generating synthetic data to train Orion.
02:11This synthetic data approach means they're not just scraping the internet like they used to,
02:16but are trying to generate data to make Orion smarter, faster, and way more powerful.
02:22And when we say powerful, we're talking about OpenAI's goal to create a model
02:27that could eventually be called Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI.
02:31This model is aimed at making the leap beyond just being good at language.
02:35They're aiming for it to think, reason, and understand at near-human levels, if not higher.
02:41It's the digital god vision that OpenAI has been working towards for years,
02:45and Orion might just be their biggest attempt yet.
02:49In fact, this whole shift has led to some high-profile exits from OpenAI.
02:54One of the latest was Miles Brundage, OpenAI's AGI readiness advisor.
02:58He left because, in his words, no one is ready for AGI yet.
03:02He highlighted that the readiness gap isn't just with OpenAI,
03:05but with pretty much every AI company right now.
03:08For him, this isn't a minor issue, it's a huge one.
03:11Brundage even put out a blog where he talked about how AI could impact jobs, societies, and even make work optional.
03:17Imagine a world where people don't need to work, where AI drives economic growth.
03:21He suggests that if done right, AI could make early retirement a reality.
03:25It's an interesting vision, but he also warns that without careful planning, we might face some chaotic years ahead.
03:30Brundage didn't just walk away.
03:32He emphasized that collaboration on AI safety across governments, companies, and civil societies is crucial.
03:39Otherwise, we risk a chaotic transition into this future with AI disrupting jobs and economies before anyone is ready to handle it.
03:47As if things weren't intense enough, let's add another layer to OpenAI's challenges.
03:52Just this week, another former OpenAI researcher, Suchir Balaji, left the company, dropping some major claims about copyright violations.
04:00He helped OpenAI gather data to train earlier models, and he admitted they scraped from everywhere ā books, websites, even forums, often without permission.
04:09Back then, he didn't question if it was legal, but now he feels OpenAI's methods weren't right.
04:14He believes this approach could be a huge problem for the internet itself.
04:18Think about it. Platforms like Stack Overflow and Reddit are seeing drops in traffic because people are now asking AI their questions instead of heading to these sites.
04:27Balaji isn't just voicing concerns.
04:29He wrote an essay saying that AI companies like OpenAI need to be regulated to prevent this kind of uncontrolled data use.
04:36This scraping isn't a simple fair use issue either.
04:40It involves copying copyrighted data.
04:42So it's no surprise OpenAI is facing lawsuits from authors who claim their work was used without consent.
04:48The company has signed deals with some publishers, but the legal issues are far from over.
04:53Balaji's point ā generative AI could be damaging to the internet as a whole, not just the companies and creators involved.
05:00The AI race isn't just a tech thing ā it's shaping up to be political and philosophical.
05:06While OpenAI is charging forward, some companies are stepping back from the doomerism that used to dominate the industry.
05:12Anthropik, a company founded by former OpenAI folks, started as the white-hot center of AI doomerism with a cautious approach to AI development.
05:21Dario Amodei, Anthropik's CEO, recently put out a lengthy post outlining his vision for super-intelligent AI that could be here as soon as 2026.
05:31Anthropik initially tried to be the slower, safer alternative to OpenAI.
05:35However, with billions in funding from Amazon and their model Claude competing directly with ChatGPT, they've had to join the AI race more aggressively.
05:44It's fascinating.
05:45Just last year, Anthropik was seen as the cautious player, focused on AI safety.
05:50Now, they're competing for funding and pushing ambitious visions for the future, just like OpenAI.
05:55Some wonder if this is just a shift to attract investors or if they genuinely believe AI could change the world positively.
06:02There's tension, too, with Amadee and OpenAI's Sam Altman having slightly different takes on the timeline for AGI and what SafeAI looks like.
06:12Altman's focused on rapid growth and deployment, while Anthropik wants safety and control.
06:17It's a difference in approach, but both are aiming to bring us closer to AGI.
06:21As both companies make these big promises, the question remains, is the industry really prepared to handle what they're building?
06:28So, where does Orion really fit into all of this?
06:31It's more than just another model in OpenAI's lineup.
06:34It's their boldest move yet toward creating an AI that can think and act more like a human.
06:39OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has been clear about his vision.
06:43He believes we're only a few thousand days away from achieving super-intelligent AI.
06:47This isn't some distant dream.
06:49With Orion, they're edging closer by combining the strengths of previous models like GPT-4 with fresh data and techniques.
06:56The big aim? To develop an AI capable of reaching AGI, potentially transforming industries like healthcare, science, and even democracy.
07:04If Orion lives up to expectations, it could change how we work and live.
07:08But OpenAI is handling the release cautiously, granting early access only to trusted companies so they can create unique applications and features before it's widely available.
07:18They're aiming to test and refine Orion in controlled settings, avoiding the chaos that could come with a wide release of something this powerful.
07:25Now, even with all this hype, OpenAI's rapid growth isn't without its issues.
07:30They've seen high turnover, including the departure of Mira Murati, their CTO, and other high-profile leaders.
07:37It's a sign that working in such a fast-paced, high-stakes environment isn't easy.
07:42Building something as ambitious as Orion, which could be a stepping stone to AGI, requires more than just money and talent.
07:50It takes careful planning, coordination, and most importantly, a clear vision of how to manage the risks involved.
07:57Brundage's departure highlights these challenges.
08:00His warning is clear, neither OpenAI nor any other AI company is fully prepared for the arrival of AGI.
08:07He's also cautious about the societal implications, saying AI could lead to a world where people don't need to work.
08:13But he warns that we're culturally and politically unprepared for this change, which could lead to civilizational stagnation or worse.
08:22If we want AI to benefit humanity, it requires careful decision-making and, ideally, collaboration across borders.
08:28Yet, for all the obstacles, the potential benefits are hard to ignore.
08:32Orion could lead to breakthroughs in areas like healthcare, the economy, and even, some might say, climate solutions.
08:38Though OpenAI stays away from directly mentioning climate change, which I personally appreciate.
08:44Brundage believes AI could enable a future where early retirement becomes accessible, where jobs become optional,
08:51and where life fundamentally changes, but only if handled responsibly.
08:54And that's where Orion stands right now.
08:57It's a massive, risky leap towards an ambitious future.
09:00OpenAI is betting big on this model to bring them closer to AGI, and they're pushing forward despite the challenges.
09:07So, are we ready for what's coming with Orion?
09:10I'm just gonna say that if it's anywhere close to what OpenAI envisions, the world will look very different in just a few years.
