Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, recently revealed a previously unknown issue with the O1 model during the ChatGPT Pro launch event. Despite the model being designed to respond to a wide range of questions and prompts, Altman disclosed that the O1 model takes approximately 10-12 seconds to respond to both simple and complex questions. This is a significant concern, as it deters the model from being able to mimic human-like conversation, where simple questions are typically answered promptly.
Altman explained that OpenAI has taken steps to address this issue, aiming to improve the response time for simple questions in the future. This optimization is not only expected to enhance user experience but also provide new insights into how AI can more effectively mimic human thought processes.
