Deep dives

Compute Capacity as a Key Limitation

OpenAI faces significant challenges due to a lack of compute capacity, which affects its ability to release products at the desired pace. Sam Altman highlighted this limitation during a recent discussion, revealing that competition for compute resources has intensified, particularly with companies like Elon Musk's xAI utilizing existing hardware to gain an edge. This situation draws attention to the fact that while OpenAI possesses the technological expertise to create advanced models, it struggles with access to the necessary computational power. As a result, delays in product development, such as realistic voice and visual models, stem more from resource constraints than from a deficiency in innovative capabilities.
