作者引用 The Information 报道称 OpenAI 将约 10% 算力转向对齐与安全，认为这也是其算力日益短缺的原因之一。他列举的迹象包括 $200 订阅计划一度暂停新订阅、收紧现有用量限制，以及 GPT-6.1 即使在 Fast Mode 下也几乎慢得难以忍受，并称数据中心扩建未能跟上算力需求。
OpenAI allocating increasingly more compute to safety could be another reason why the company is clearly experiencing an increasingly noticeable compute shortage.
One clear indication is that they had to temporarily pause new subscriptions to the $200 plan. Another is that they are significantly tightening usage limits on the existing plan and seeking a middle ground with the much more efficient GPT-6.1 Sol.
Yet GPT-6.1 is almost unbearably slow, even in Fast Mode. In other words, it is becoming increasingly clear that data center expansion is not keeping pace with demand for compute.
OpenAI’s next flagship faces safety hurdles. OpenAI reportedly diverted 10% of its compute to safety. According to The Information, OpenAI is working to make its next flagship safe to release after canceling a less capable model over safety concerns. The successor reportedly uses loop transformers, which repeatedly process problems internally but can make reasoning harder to monitor. Following the Hugging Face incident, OpenAI redirected roughly 10% of its compute toward alignment and safety. The model would also undergo US government testing, potentially adding up to 30 days before release. Employees still expect one or two new models by year-end, even if the flagship isn’t ready.在 X 查看被引用的帖子
