OpenAI has reportedly just wrapped up another massive pretraining run — this one internally codenamed Bel, with more than 10 trillion parameters. According to the leak, OpenAI is positioning Bel beyond GPT-6, possibly as the foundation for a future "AGI threshold model."
Previous reports identified Doug as the pretraining base for both Astra and GPT-6. Bel is Doug's successor.
The same leak says Anthropic may struggle to field a comparable response to Astra this year, mostly because of compute constraints.
