[Linkpost] “Notes and updates on GPT-5” by Yadav

This is a link post. (I wrote this quickly for my own edification. It isn't original thinking; it condenses takes I’ve read on X over the past few days. Where relevant I’ve linked tweets. I hope it's helpful for people.) Watching an OpenAI launch now feels like watching an Apple keynote in the early 2010s. As a kid, I was giddy about which new, unaffordable iPhone would drop. I’ll probably look back on my twenties as the years I felt the same mix of excitement and perhaps fear about whatever OpenAI released next. At first glance on X, before I had access to the model, the mood was mostly disappointment. Some people pushed their timelines out; a few even talked about the end of the pre-training paradigm. The live presentation had a couple of funny slip-ups. I’m not a technical person, and my naive expectation was that GPT-5 would feel [...] --- First published: August 9th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/m8H2QooDJzGaTDXYK/notes-and-updates-on-gpt-5 Linkpost URL:https://robertgaurav.xyz/notes/gpt5 --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article: gpt-3 - gpt-4 were all ~100x scaleups in pretraining compute. gpt-5 is not. building projects like stargate and colossus2 to actually 100x gpt-4 compute takes time, let the labs cook :)". The tweet offers a perspective on AI model development, suggesting that while previous GPT models saw significant computational increases, GPT-5 development may require more patience as larger projects are being built." style="max-width: 100%;" /Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.
