OpenAI Reportedly Completes Pretraining of 'Bel' Model with Over 10T Parameters, Targeting AGI

August 26 - According to IT Home, citing source @synthwavedd on X platform, OpenAI has reportedly completed pretraining of its next-generation model, internally codenamed "Bel," which serves as the direct successor to the "Doug" model and boasts over 10 trillion parameters. The source claims OpenAI aims to position Bel as the foundational model following GPT-6, potentially even pushing toward the threshold of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI is a hypothetical intelligent system capable of learning, understanding, and performing any intellectual task that humans can undertake. Unlike current narrow AI, which is limited to specific tasks, AGI possesses cross-domain generalization, reasoning abilities, and the capacity to adapt to unknown environments through self-learning.
