Report: 80-90% of OpenAI research is focused on GPT-7 and beyond
VraserX · x · 2026-11-05
Boris Power at OpenAI reportedly said 80-90% of the company's research effort is focused on GPT-7 and beyond, leaving little on current-generation models.
The poster speculates that if GPT-7 can generate its own research ideas, test them, and recognize when it's wrong, capability gains could compound quickly. Unverified report plus speculation, but the signal is clear: OpenAI is betting nearly everything on the next generation.
