Conspiracy theory: OpenAI is holding back launches for lack of compute
The author speculates that OpenAI has a Grok Bot competitor ready but not enough compute to serve it, and is waiting for more servers and the return of the $200 plans before launching, though a Sol 6 release would likely not be delayed.
My conspiracy theory is OpenAI has a Grok Bot competitor ready to launch but no compute to serve it. They’re probably holding launches back for more servers to come online and resume the $200 plans before any big product launch. However if I’m correct, I don’t think this would delay a Sol 6 launch as that would be helpful to their situation with many users switching from maining Astra to Sol and freeing up capacity. Let’s see if I’m right 🤞. Fun times.
