Odaily News At the recent KDDI Summit, Tadao Nagasaki, CEO of OpenAI's Japanese subsidiary, revealed that OpenAI's new generation model code-named "GPT-Next" is expected to be 100 times more powerful than the existing GPT-4 model and is scheduled to be released later this year. The performance improvement of the GPT-Next model is attributed to its optimized architectural design and improved learning efficiency, rather than relying solely on huge computing resources. He also revealed that OpenAI currently has less than 2,000 employees worldwide, of which about half are focused on AI development. OpenAI's major customers include Apple, Coca-Cola, and biotech giant Moderna. (Jinshi)
