Openai announced late Friday that it would update its latest models to “warmer and friendly.”
The company recently launched the highly anticipated GPT-5 in a process that CEO Sam Altman admitted was “a little more bumpy than we wanted.”
Openai is trying to address some of these complaints in this update.
“You’ll notice small, authentic touches like “good questions” and “great start,” rather than flattering,” the company wrote in a social media post. “Internal testing shows no rise in psychofancy compared to previous GPT-5 personalities.”
During dinner with journalists this week, Openai executives tried to focus on plans for the company beyond GPT-5, but as Max Zeff reports, Rocky’s launch was an elephant in the room. As far as the familiarity of the model is concerned, Vice President Nick Turley said the GPT-5 is “very important,” but the new update feels warm, as it is now announced.
