GPT-V Coming Soon?

A few days ago, OpenAI, in partnership with Eric Schmidt, announced the launch of a $10 million grants program – Superalignment Fast Grants – to support technical research towards the alignment and safety of advanced AI systems, which are likely to possess fundamentally new and different technical challenges beyond current capabilities.

All these developments point to one thing: OpenAI is most likely to release GPT-5 (or GPT-V) sooner than expected, as the team is waking up to potential safety risks before it can spiral out of control. In fact, it even launched a preparedness framework that aims to track, evaluate, forecast, and protect against the catastrophic events posed by increasingly powerful models. “Brace yourselves, AGI is coming,” said OpenAI’s Steven Heidel on X.

OpenAI loves drama. Recently, the company teased everyone with GPT-V. A user on X recently discovered the link ‘openai.com/v-test’, which now shows a 404 error.
