According to one of the sources, long-time executive Mira Murati told employees on Wednesday that a letter about the AI breakthrough called Q* (pronounced Q-Star), precipitated the board's actions.

The maker of ChatGPT had made progress on Q*, which some internally believe could be a breakthrough in the startup's search for superintelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans.

Ayyayyay the source for this. The news must be desperate to cash in on the drama. You have all these anonymous people pretending they work at OAI. Last one said that they had AGI internally. They used to do this with Google with conspiracy theories that Google was locking an AGI from everyone.

Given vast computing resources, the new model was able to solve certain mathematical problems, the person said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on behalf of the company

I would take this with a heavy grain of salt.
