A few theories:

- They have better just stuff, but aren't release it yet. They are at the top already, it makes sense they would hold their cards until someone got close.

- They are more focused on AGI, and not letting themselves get side tracked with the LLM race

- LLMs have peaked and they don't want to release only a minor improvement.

This hypothesis has a curious habit of surfacing when OpenAI is fundraising. Together with the world-ending potential of their complete-the-sentence kit.

FWIW OpenAI seems to have a corroded definition for AGI that is essentially "[An] AI system generally smarter than humans".

They don't seem to use the typical definition I'm used to of some variation of autonomy or (pseudo)-sentience.

So their LLM race is the race for AGI
