What’s on the AI Horizon?
This is unlikely to be the last exciting announcement to be made by OpenAI this year. The startup has already developed GPT-5, which could be ready for general release as soon as this summer. CEO Sam Altman raised eyebrows in March by saying GPT-4, the most advanced model users can access, “sucks” — and if he’s making these kinds of statements, it wouldn’t be a surprise if a new and improved version is just around the corner.
Anthropic — a startup that has received billions of dollars in funding from Google and Amazon — recently released three new versions of Claude, its language model, which bested comparable Gemini and ChatGPT LLMs on a wide range of benchmarking tests.
Lurking in the background, Grok — Elon Musk’s contribution to the flourishing ecosystem of chatbots now accessible online — also recently received a major upgrade. Just like Anthropic, X.ai has announced a new language model and produced a table showing it outperforming its rivals on different tests.
Grok 1.5 will launch at some point this week. However, it remains the only major chatbot users won’t be able to access for free, as you need a paid X subscription to access it.
Other smaller players in the space, such as Perplexity, have already raised millions of dollars in funding since the turn of the year and will likely have announcements and upgrades of their own to make. The race is proceeding at a breakneck pace, whichever direction you’re looking in.
