The lawsuit seeks a court judgment on whether GPT4 should be considered AGI and argues that OpenAI's board is not equipped to make this determination. Musk also alleges that OpenAI is building another model, Q*, which will be more powerful than GPT4 and should be made publicly available under the terms of its founding agreement. The lawsuit also aims to compel OpenAI to adhere to its founding agreement to build technology that benefits humanity, not just individuals or corporations. OpenAI maintains it has not yet achieved AGI, despite the success of its models in language and reasoning tasks.
