A discussion on Reddit speculates about the capabilities of OpenAI's upcoming models, Astra and Orion, also referred to as GPT 4.5. The conversation centers on whether Astra will surpass Orion in intrinsic intelligence, which is defined as base intelligence without reasoning capabilities. This intrinsic intelligence is linked to the original scaling paradigm of larger models and more data, as opposed to the newer reasoning paradigm that has driven recent AI advancements. The participants ponder if Orion represented the peak of the original scaling approach and if Astra will finally exceed it in both scale and innate intelligence, while also matching or surpassing GPT-5.6-Sol in reasoning.
