"According to one of the sources, long-time executive Mira Murati told employees on Wednesday that a letter about the AI breakthrough called Q* (pronounced Q-Star), precipitated the board's actions.
The maker of ChatGPT had made progress on Q*, which some internally believe could be a breakthrough in the startup's search for superintelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans.
Given vast computing resources, the new model was able to solve certain mathematical problems, the person said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on behalf of the company. Though only performing math on the level of grade-school students, acing such tests made researchers very optimistic about Q*'s future success, the source said."
Will it be confirmed by an OpenAI employee or the board member that there was a model/system called "Q*" or "Zero"?
Resolution criterium: As a confirmation. I mean an article in the press citing a named employee, board member, or ex-board member, or a tweet/post/etc. from a non-pseudonymous OpenAI employee, board member, or ex-board member.
