Reports suggest that Q* could be a significant breakthrough in computational reasoning, with capabilities to solve unseen math problems and perform math at the level of grade-school students. However, the extent of its potential is still unclear. Altman's reticence about the project has only served to increase speculation and anticipation.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has remained secretive about the company's Q* project, despite admitting that the company is not good at keeping secrets.
- The Q* project was linked to the chaos at the firm in the aftermath of a failed coup in November, and OpenAI has refused to answer any questions about it.
- Reports suggest that Q* is capable of solving math problems it hasn’t seen before and could provide significant advances in AI functioning.
- Despite the secrecy, it appears that OpenAI may be sitting on a massive breakthrough in computational reasoning, but the extent of this breakthrough is yet to be seen.
