GPT-5, Where Are You?

Everyone is slowly starting to feel the AGI. Devin, the world’s first AI software engineer, made its first appearance a few days back, questioning the relevance of coders, and just yesterday OpenAI’s ChatGPT got a brand new humanoid body, disrupting the blue-collar jobs.?

However, there is still no sign of GPT-5 yet.

Time surely flies, it has exactly been a year since GPT-4 was launched with OpenAI chief Sam Altman posting a photo with his signature blue backpack. “Excited 4 today,” he said.??

Cut to present. The excitement remains unmatched, and everyone is going gung-ho about the release. “Patience jimmy. It would be worth the wait,” was all Altman said in a response to a post on X asking OpenAI to release GPT-5 last week. Nothing has happened since then.

After releasing ChatGPT based on GPT-3.5 in November 2022, OpenAI took five months more to release GPT-4. And now, after a year, people have been speculating what the next version of OpenAI’s GPT will include and when it will drop.?

“This may sound like an annoying answer, but I believe it's crucial to understand that the key improvement will be in intelligence,” said Altman at the World Government Summit held in Dubai. He said that the magic of these models lies in their generality, and if the model becomes slightly smarter, it inherently improves in all areas.?

Canva for Developers?

Devin, the world’s first AI software engineer, is democratising coding like never before, bringing ease and efficiency to developers, similar to how Canva simplified design for non-designers. Learn more about Devin here.?

The Rise of Software Engineering Jobs?

Despite the predictions floating around, you won’t become redundant in five years. Ever since ChatGPT was launched, and now Devin, experts have claimed that AI would make programming jobs obsolete, suggesting that everyone will become a coder. While that may be true to some extent, not everyone will end up as a software engineer.

Fran?ois Chollet, creator of Keras, has made a prediction: “There will be more software engineers (the kind that writes code, e.g. Python, C or JavaScript code) in five years than there are today.” He adds that the estimated number of professional software engineers today is 26 million, which would jump to 30-35 million in five years.?

RAG vs Fine-Turning?

Ever since the technique of retrieval augment generation (RAG) came to the forefront of discussions, people have been wondering about the need to fine-tune AI models on their own data. Since both these methods are meant to improve an LLM’s knowledge with new data, it’s important to know when to use what. Read more here.?
