Reports claim that a top-secret project at OpenAI has alarmed some researchers with its potential to solve intractable problems in a powerful new way. The project, known as Q*, has shown promising results in solving mathematical problems, leading to optimism about its future success. However, the pace of development has raised concerns among researchers focused on AI safety.
Last week, after briefly deposed CEO Sam Altman was reinstalled at OpenAI, two reports claimed that a top- secret project at the company had rattled some researchers there with its potential to solve intractable problems in a powerful new way. “Given vast computing resources, the new model was able to solve certain mathematical problems ,” Reuters reported, citing a single unnamed source.
“Though only performing math on the level of grade-school students, acing such tests made researchers very optimistic about Q*’s future success.” The Information said that Q* was seen as a breakthrough that would lead to “far more powerful artificial intelligence models,” adding that “the pace of development alarmed some researchers focused on AI safety,” citing a single unnamed source. Reuters also reported that some researchers sent a letter expressing concerns about Q*’s potential power to the nonprofit board that ejected Altman, although a WIRED source familiar with the board’s thinking says that was not the cas
