OpenAI quietly killed an internal AI model code-named Arrakis earlier this year after it failed to meet efficiency targets, according to The Information. Built alongside GPT-4 to drastically lower the eye-watering compute costs of running apps like ChatGPT, the setback left some Microsoft executives disappointed. It shows that slashing inference expenses remains a brutal hurdle, even for AI's market leader.
