In a recent interview, Sam Altman discussed with Raza Habib the future of OpenAI. They talked about:
- GPU Issues
- Longer Context Windows
- Multimodality
- Regulation and Open Source
👇 Here is a summary:
1. GPU Issues
OpenAI has a lot of short-term goals but they are being delayed due to GPU shortages. One of this goals is Multimodality.
2. Plans for 2023
Their top priority is to have lower the cost and increase the speed of GPT-4.
Other objectives include:

- Finetuning API to help developers
- A stateful API so the API remembers the conversation
