The All-in podcast billionaires try to find out what Sam Altman and OpenAI are planning.
They asked Sam about what OpenAI is and will be doing and why.
Question- when will get to vastly cheaper and faster language models (free queries)
Sam says that is goal but he does not know when.
Translation – Sam and OpenAI are working on this but will not reveal when even if they knew when
Question- Will we get a new substrate- aka replace the Nvidia chips
Sam says he does not know when that will happen but again they want it but he won’t count on it.
OpenAI is working to create vastly more efficient models and there is a lot of gains to be made there
Question -Will OpenAI replace he smartphone
Sam says the iPhone is great. It is a really high bar to replace the smartphone.
Sam thinks cheaper is not the answer.
Just replacing or adding a chip would leave the phone about the same.
Sam thinks a new user interface would be needed.
OpenAI Voice needs to be a lot better with no lag.
There is need to be a super-low friction always on device.
Sam talks about a senior employee or an agent that is you. He thinks a very good agent that is not you. A Jarvis-like thing.
Sam wants to create a world that is equally good for AI and for people.
San said the AI chips and all the other projects outside of LLM (Large Language Models) are part of OpenAI.
