Message source @synthwavedd broke the news on the X platform that OpenAI has completed the pre-training of its next-generation model Bel, the direct successor to the internal code name Doug, with a total parameter count exceeding 10T. Reports say OpenAI hopes to build Bel as the foundational model after GPT-6, and even challenge the threshold of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

AGI refers to a hypothetical system that can learn, understand, and perform any intellectual task like a human, unlike narrow AI which can only handle specific tasks. It has the ability to generalize across domains, reason, and adapt to unknown environments through self-learning.

The leak states that OpenAI believes in the face of the upcoming Astra, Anthropic is limited by computational power and has no impressive response plan. The latter has already prepared themselves for the situation to favor the opponent in the remaining time, but they believe they can regain the leading position early next year.
