Future Training Systems and Performance

By 2028, significant advancements in training systems are anticipated, with funding now more substantial for developing technologies that can support immense computational demands. OpenAI's O3 may facilitate pre-training models capable of reaching 5x10^28 flops, while the constraints of natural text data will not hinder progress until much larger flops are achieved. This scaling of pre-training is expected to remain robust, demonstrating that leading models like GPT-4 set a benchmark for future developments despite others catching up. The race to enhance these systems is intensifying, with expected outputs surpassing current capabilities as hardware continues to evolve and expand.
