OpenAI was on the cusp of a milestone. The startup finished an
initial round of training in September for a massive new artificial
intelligence model that it hoped would significantly surpass prior
versions of the technology behind ChatGPT and move closer to its goal
of powerful AI that outperforms humans.

But the model, known internally as Orion, did not hit the company's
desired performance, according to two people familiar with the
matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss company
matters. As of late summer, for example, Orion fell short when trying
to answer coding questions that it hadn't been trained on, the people
said. Overall, Orion is so far not considered to be as big a step up
from OpenAI's existing models as GPT-4 was from GPT-3.5, the system
that originally powered the company's flagship chatbot, the people
said.
