OpenAI: Progress towards AGI by 2026 requires not only technological breakthroughs, but also narrowing the gap in AI application deployment

Foresight News reported that OpenAI stated in a post that "capability overhang" means there is currently a significant gap between the actual capabilities of models and the way most people use them. OpenAI predicts that progress toward AGI in 2026 will rely not only on advances in cutting-edge model technology, but also on helping people use AI more effectively and benefit from it directly. The company believes that 2026 will be a year that emphasizes both frontier research and narrowing the deployment gap, especially in areas such as healthcare, business, and daily life.
