In a letter to the company’s board of directors, OpenAI researchers are said to have warned of an AI discovery that could pose a threat to humanity.
This was reported by Reuters, citing two sources familiar with the matter. The letter is also linked to Altman’s firing, but is not the only reason, according to Reuters.
According to a source from The Verge, the board never received such a letter, which is why it played no role in Altman’s firing. Reuters says it has not seen the letter. The Information reports not on the letter itself, but on the “Q*” breakthrough described in it.
Inflection AI just announced Inflection-2, a HUGE new 175 billion parameter language model.
Capabilities exceed Google and Meta’s top models and “is very close” to catching GPT-4.
The CEO also said the company’s next model will be 10x larger in six months.
Inflection AI, the innovative startup behind the conversational chatbot Pi, has recently unveiled a new AI model, Inflection-2, claiming superior performance over popular models developed by Google and Meta. According to a recent Forbes report, this new model is rapidly gaining attention for its potential to rival OpenAI’s GPT-4.
Inflection-2 has demonstrated impressive results, outperforming Google’s PaLM Large 2 and Meta’s LLaMA 2 in various standard benchmarks. According to Inflection AI, their model is the most efficient of its size, only trailing behind OpenAI’s larger GPT-4 model.
Inflection AI’s vision for the future
A team of researchers headed by Prof. Wang Qun at the University of Science and Technology of China, under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved a breakthrough in the theoretical understanding of vector meson spin physics, focusing on the unique properties of ϕ mesons produced during collisions between gold nuclei.
Their findings published in the journal Physical Review Letters
Physical Review Letters (PRL) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Physical Society. It is one of the most prestigious and influential journals in physics, with a high impact factor and a reputation for publishing groundbreaking research in all areas of physics, from particle physics to condensed matter physics and beyond. PRL is known for its rigorous standards and short article format, with a maximum length of four pages, making it an important venue for rapid communication of new findings and ideas in the physics community.

Correction: This article has been updated to correct the headline and paragraph five to state Altman’s firing occurred after the letter was sent to the board and was not caused by the letter
Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s four days in exile, several staff researchers sent the board of directors a letter warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Lab, Stanford, and Toyota are revolutionizing hydrogen fuel cells by substituting costly platinum group metals with more economical silver.

The breakthrough involves a radical shift in the catalyst composition, traditionally reliant on expensive platinum group metals (PGM), according to an SLAC release.
