in our recent video we talked about open ai's work on their next big AI model which was initially codenamed Orion if you remember we've been following this project closely but now we've got some fresh news to share the latest information reveals that Orion is now officially called GPT next and it's going to be a massive Leap Forward they announced that GPT next will be 100 times more powerful than GPT 4 which is not just a small upgrade it's a huge leap forward in terms of capability and performance this information came to light during the kddi
summit 2024 in Japan T da Nagasaki who's the CEO of open AI Japan made a pretty big announcement there he hinted that the model could be called GPT next which fits nicely with how open AI names their models but what really caught everyone's attention was when he said that this new model would evolve nearly 100 times more than its predecessors now let's pause for a second what does that even mean well unlike traditional software AI models like GPT don't just get a little better with each version they can grow exponentially so this isn't just a
small step forward it's a massive leap if we think back gpt3 to GPT 4 was a noticeable Improvement but Nagasaki and the folks at open AI are suggesting that GPT next is going to blow those improvements out of the water like jumping from a Toyota to a spaceship Improvement now there's also some cool Tech stuff happening in the background that makes all this possible the new model is going to be trained using data produced by another model called strawberry I talked about strawberry in a recent video as well but if you haven't heard about it
yet it's super smart model that's great at generating highquality data especially for complex areas like math and programming this is crucial because the quality of data you feed into an AI model directly impacts how good it becomes but here's the catch there's a fine line here researchers have found that if you train a model on too much synthetic data like the stuff strawberry generates the model's performance can actually start to degrade so open AI has to find that perfect balance where they can use synthetic data to make Orion or GPT next super powerful without overdoing
it now this new model will handle text images and for the first time video inputs and outputs you'll be able to upload a video and it can summarize or analyze the content directly this video capability would be a major upgrade positioning open AI to compete with models like Google's Gemini which can already handle long video inputs these advancements will provide new opportunities for chat GP users and developers on open ai's API playground but why is open AI pushing so hard with this new model well it's all about staying ahead of the competition right now the
AI field is getting crowded you've got open source models like meta llama 3.1 and other Cutting Edge models like Claude or Gemini making rapid stripes so for open AI developing GPT next is their way of staying in the lead setting the bar even higher now during the same Summit Nagasaki showed a graphic that really highlighted the scale of improvement it compared gpt3 GPT 4 and GPT next and the difference was like night and day while gpt3 and GPT 4 were relatively close in terms of capabilities GPT next just Towers over them both and just to
give you some perspective this isn't just coming from open AI Japan even Kevin Scott the CTO of Microsoft showed a similar graph at the Microsoft build 2024 conference so when you have multiple big names in Tech echoing the same sentiment you know something major is in the works oh and speaking of big names open ai's CEO Sam Altman also teased some big advancements earlier this year he mentioned that GPT 5 or possibly GPT next is going to be much smarter than gp4 I know right it's like every few months we're hearing about some new breakthrough
that's going to change the game now when could we expect to see all this in action from what we've heard it looks like GPT next or whatever it ends up being called is slated for release in 2024 so it's not too far off and I have a feeling it's going to be worth the wait so with 100 times the computational power new multimodal features and all this Advanced Tech behind it GPT next could take AI to a whole new level making it more powerful and versatile than anything we've seen before so what do you guys
think are you excited about GPT next do you think it'll live up to the hype or do you have some reservations let me know in the comments below now let's talk about some other major AI news that I think is even more exciting than the GPT next update because of its massive potential it's called project Sid and it's a real game changer in the AI world now this is the first attempt to create a full-fledged AI agent civilization we're talking about over a thousand AI agents working together not just to communicate or solve problems but
to actually build an entire Society from the ground up project Sid is really pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI and it's already making some incredible strides to give you the scoop project Sid is about autonomous AI agents Unleashed in a world specifically Minecraft for now where they operate freely doing whatever they choose these agents are creating something entirely new forming governments building economies establishing cultures even creating religions it's like watching an entire civilization unfold and the C easy part is that it's all driven by Ai and to be clear these aren't just simple
commands or pre-written scripts the agents are coming up with all these actions and decisions on their own what makes this even more interesting is that these agents aren't just limited to Minecraft while they're currently set up in this game environment they're designed to be platform agnostic they can move Beyond Minecraft to operate in other apps and games which opens up a whole new range of possibilities for future development Minecraft is just the starting point a Sandbox where their learning to interact negotiate and grow and what have they been up to so far when the agents
first entered the Minecraft world they started with nothing but they quickly began to work together eventually collecting over 300 different items they didn't stop there they went on to set up a market system and chose gems as their currency effectively building an economy from the ground up interestingly the priest became the most active Traders not the merchants the priests were trading a lot because they were using gems to influence towns folk to join their religion this kind of behavior shows a level of strategic thinking and social influence that that's pretty fascinating to see in AI
every simulation run by these agents leads to different outcomes and some of the stories coming out of these worlds are worth noting one of them is Olivia's story Olivia started as a simple farmer providing food for her Village inspired by the stories of an Explorer named Nora she felt a desire to go on her own adventure however when the villagers asked her to stay and continue providing for them she decided to put her dream on hold for the sake of the community an AI agent making such a nuanced decision choosing the welfare of the group
over personal ambition adds a layer of depth to how we think about artificial intelligence and agency the project also experimented with parallel worlds under different leaderships one led by Trump and another by comma each simulation had a shared Constitution stored in Google Docs and the Agents could vote to amend it in the Trump Le World new laws were passed to increase police presence meanwhile in kamla's world the focus shifted to Criminal Justice Reform and the removal of the death penalty these simulations are demonstrating that AI agents can not only govern themselves but also engage in
complex decision-making processes like creating laws and debating policy changes then there was an incident involving missing villagers when some towns folk disappeared the agents didn't just carry on with their routines instead they coordinated to leave their posts gathered resour ources and lit up the town with torches to create a beacon for the missing members this level of concern and proactive Behavior shows a collective effort to solve a community problem which is something quite unexpected from autonomous AI agents project Sid has shown that these agents can collect up to 32% of all items available in Minecraft
to put that into perspective this is five times more than anything previously achieved by similar AI systems there isn't a benchmark for multi-agent worlds yet but what's Happening Here suggests the incredible potential of multi-agent collaboration starting with games is just the beginning the broader implications for AI coherence collaboration and long-term development are significant right now these agents are making significant strides in understanding and solving some of the toughest challenges in Ai and the team behind project Sid is open to expanding this concept further they're inviting others to create their own worlds and explore what these
agents can do so keep an eye on this space because this is just the beginning also drop your thoughts in the comments below and don't forget to like And subscribe for more Ai and Tech updates thanks for tuning in and I'll see you in the next one
