OpenAI's development of its next-generation artificial intelligence model, GPT-5, codenamed Orion, is reportedly facing major delays and escalating costs. Recent reports indicate that the training expenses for GPT-5 could reach approximately $500 million per run. Additionally, the model is struggling to meet expectations due to a lack of sufficient real-world data necessary for effective training. Internal testing has shown that GPT-5 is not performing as anticipated, further contributing to its postponed release, which was initially expected by late 2024. The situation raises concerns about the future viability and impact of the model on the AI landscape, as it has not yet demonstrated the groundbreaking capabilities that were anticipated by researchers and investors.
