Altra conferma, dal Wall Street Journal, che Sora è stato dismesso perché usava troppe GPU:
OpenAI was weeks away from finishing work on a new AI model, code-named Spud, and needed to free up more computing resources to power the coding and enterprise products that would run on it. AI chips are the most precious commodity at any leading research lab, and at OpenAI, Sora was eating up far too many of them.
OpenAI’s researchers are able to track how AI chips are allocated between different groups through an internal dashboard. Some of them were surprised by the amount of computing resources the company gave to the Sora team, given that video-generation tools didn’t make much money, nor improve the capabilities of its language models.
Mentre sempre il WSJ racconta un po' della backstory che ha portato alla scissione di Dario Amodei e quindi Anthropic da OpenAI, nel 2020. Il riassunto è che il tutto è in mano a cricca di tech bros un po' pazzi e dalla dubbia etica che litigano continuamente tra loro per il potere. Cioè business as usual per gli standard della Silicon Valley.
