OpenAI’s Model Codenamed “Doug” Will Reportedly Make Fable Look “Primitive”

Summary

Rumors suggest OpenAI's next major model, codenamed 'Doug', will be its largest pre-training yet and make the Fable model look primitive, potentially launching by November.

This is not Astra (the model that's being delayed due to cybersecurity concerns). This is the model that will be released after Astra. OpenAI seems to be on a roll. It seems that Mythos was a huge wake up call for them. GPT-6 will be a great model. However, the end-of-year model I alluded to back in June is going to be OpenAI’s biggest pre-train, as far as I know. Now we know that model is codenamed ‘Doug.’ And it will make Fable seem ‘primitive.’ I’d assume this model to be out no later than November given - pre training time - White House - and plethora of cyber security testing. https://x.com/ChrisGPT/status/2086220662264250764
