A Newfound Confidence On Achieving AGI at OpenAI

The company is also planning to launch a new AI model on January 10, 2025, that surpasses the benchmarks of ARC-AGI challenge.
Hiring Has Been And Will Remain A Strong Pillar Of The OpenAI Group
By simply pitching the incoming talent to build AGI, OpenAI attracted top talent in the AI space at comparatively lower compensation rates than its direct competitors. By doing this, Altman said that the organization filtered out nearly 99% of the world and showed open doors only to really talented original thinkers. He also shared that these talented individuals also accept lower wages due to the opportunity to collaborate with other top talents, which provides better ROIs in the long term. Altman plans to stick to the original proven plan to hire, sustain, and grow the top talent from across the world within the OpenAI umbrella.
From not having a concrete definition about what is Artificial Intelligence, to integrating AI capabilities in almost every individual and business function, the world has embraced AI primarily thought OpenAI. As a pioneer of the AI landscape, the trust in OpenAI as the potential leader of AGI is unmatched.
