OpenAI's "Bel" Project: Next-Gen AI Beyond GPT-6?

OpenAI may already be working on the foundation for models beyond GPT-6. This comes from unverified reports about an internal project codenamed "Bel." Here's the thing: Bel is believed to be a major pretraining run that has already finished. It reportedly follows an earlier project called "Doug" and could form the basis for OpenAI's next generation of AI models. What's interesting is that Bel is rumored to involve more than 10 trillion total parameters. Despite comparisons to GPT-6, Bel is not thought to be GPT-7 itself. Instead, it could serve as a foundational layer for what comes after GPT-6. Some insiders even allegedly view Bel as OpenAI’s first serious attempt at an AGI-threshold model. However, OpenAI has not publicly confirmed Bel's existence, its completion, or any connection to AGI. This rumor highlights how far ahead frontier AI companies might be working internally.
