It seems like these articles might have come out prematurely, tbd by how much. I do not personally see any evidence of the new model having been released, or any official OpenAI post about it, or even any employee social media posts claiming it has now been released. All there is are Reuters, Axios, FT, etc, articles making a claim in the past tense. These articles were presumably pre-scheduled for 11am PT, and the m…

You'd think this would be easy to organize with AGI

>>He ended the briefing by saying: "Welcome to the AGI era." That's pathetic. Why do people keep doing this?

Because it is in their own interest to hype it all up every time they release a new model. By they I mean people which stand to gain financially.

If it's not clear what's happened: The launch was scheduled for 11am Pacific time. The press embargo broke at 11am, and we saw a flurry of press articles by Axios, TechCrunch et al. The model has appeared on the ChatGPT API. But the official blog post is not out yet after nearly an hour. Apparently the article was posted then quickly taken down, hence there are snippets of information coming out.

Shows the weirdness of online journalism. News outlets were briefed about an upcoming event and pre-wrote and scheduled articles. When the time came they were all triggered. Except...the event didn't actually happen.

In a future where Claude and ChatGPT agents automate all aspects of society, that triggers a cascade of real world consequences where everything keeps running as if the new model is released, except the vibe coded upgrade procedure fails to do a staged rollout, taking down the entire agent infrastructure when they try to upgrade to a nonexistent model all at once.

Maybe it was postponed due to the outage today?

The outage this morning probably threw a wrench in the launch
