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.

OpenAI has a history of hyping the hell out of their discoveries. Remember GPT-2 that they didn't want to release because it was too powerful but turns out it was pretty bad and they released GPT3 anyway?

We cannot release the model because it’s too dangerous, unless you pay for it

Right now, they are the absolute best, by far, so this kind of leaks are quite credible

best at something that's not even close to AGI does not make them close to AGI
