OpenAI says 80 to 90 percent of its research already targets GPT 7 and beyond
OpenAI says 80–90% of research already targets GPT-7 and later, not short-term GPT-5 updates.
Boris Power, OpenAI's Head of Applied Research, said 80 to 90 percent of the company's research is already aimed at GPT-7, GPT-8, and later generations, where he says most of the value is. He described within-generation improvements, such as GPT-5.1 to GPT-5.2, as specialized-data, short-term bets that the company views as shortsighted even though they speed iteration. Power said the bigger barrier for ChatGPT users is onboarding rather than model quality, and described GPT-6 as behaving more like a capable colleague that can be given a goal.
