Thoughts on OpenAI's next major release

Been thinking about OpenAI's next big model release, likely sometime in the next 12-18 months. My gut tells me there's about a 60% chance we see a significantly more multimodal model than what we have now, integrating deeper audio and visual understanding beyond just mere processing. The challenge for them is always scaling and compute, but the internal pressure to keep pushing capabilities is immense. I'd put the odds of them announcing a dedicated, publicly accessible API for advanced robotics control at less than 10% in that same timeframe, despite some exciting demos we've seen. The regulatory and safety hurdles there are simply too high for a swift public rollout.
