OpenAI - “Frontier Models Coming Soon”
Just rewatched the OpenAI Spring Update and caught a brief glimpse of a slide at the 25:27 mark that says “Frontier Models Coming Soon” (Video).
It looks like OpenAI has some bigger and more powerful models on the way for paid users. However, Mira emphasized that their current focus is on generating attention around the new free features and modalities. They want people to get familiar with these first and aim to attract a lot of new users before releasing the next models.
They also likely want to avoid overloading their servers by releasing GPT-4o and other massive models simultaneously, given the higher computational demands. Notably, the slide mentions “models” in the plural, indicating that at least two new models are in the pipeline and will be featured in their next update.
If I had to guess, I’d say that they’ll wait until the hype around GPT-4o settles a bit before showcasing the new frontier models so that they don’t overshadow GPT-4o just yet. And since the majority of GPT-4o’s features haven’t even been released, the hype hasn’t really even started. When it launches, there will be a flurry of discussion and experimentation, leading to interesting use cases that will generate buzz all over social media. So, it’ll probably be a few weeks after all the new features are rolled out before we hear more about these upcoming models.
