OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has acknowledged that the company's product development is being hindered by a lack of compute capacity. In a recent Reddit AMA, he explained that the complexity of their models and the need to make difficult decisions regarding compute allocation are significant challenges. Reports indicate that OpenAI has struggled to secure sufficient infrastructure for training its generative models. The company is collaborating with Broadcom to develop an AI chip, which may be available by 2026. As a result of these limitations, features like the vision capabilities for ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode have been delayed. Altman also mentioned that there is no set timeline for the next release of the DALL-E image generator, and the video-generating tool Sora is facing technical setbacks. Additionally, OpenAI is contemplating the inclusion of NSFW content in ChatGPT in the future. Altman emphasized that improving the reasoning models remains a top priority, with several new features expected to be announced soon, although he clarified that there will be no release labeled as GPT-5.
- OpenAI's product delays are primarily due to insufficient compute capacity.
- The company is working with Broadcom on an AI chip expected by 2026.
- Advanced features for ChatGPT and DALL-E are facing delays due to technical challenges.
- OpenAI is considering allowing NSFW content in ChatGPT in the future.
- The focus remains on enhancing reasoning models and upcoming features.
