Sam Altman Unveils Top 2025 OpenAI Priorities: Two Exciting Features We Want to See

OpenAI’s 2025 Wishlist: What’s in Store for the Future of AI?

Tweet from OpenAI CEO and founder Sam Altman has sparked a lot of buzz around the latest developments in the world of Artificial Intelligence. In a recent tweet, Altman listed the top things people want from OpenAI in 2025. And, interestingly, it’s not all about ChatGPT.

According to Altman, the common themes that have emerged from the community include AGI agents, a much better 4o upgrade, better memory, longer context, a "grown-up mode", deep research features, a better Sora, and more personalization.

A Glimpse into the Future of AI

Let’s dive into each of these areas and explore what they might hold for the future of AI.

AGI: The Holy Grail of AI?

AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, is often seen as the next level of AI, where we create human-equivalent or even smarter-than-human intelligence. While some experts believe it’s a significant step forward, others think it comes with more risks than benefits. While it’s unlikely we’ll see AGI in 2025, significant strides are being made towards this goal.

Agents: The AI Personal Assistant

These are AI-powered bots that can perform tasks for you, even like a personal assistant. We’re expecting OpenAI to release its long-awaited Operator Agent soon, which will revolutionize the way we interact with AI.

ChatGPT Improvements: What’s Next?

Most of the requested changes for ChatGPT are about enhancing its user experience. These include longer context, more personalization, "grown-up mode", better memory, and a deeper research feature. While the rate of Large Language Model improvements has slowed, these changes can still make a significant impact on everyday user experience.

What does "grown-up mode" entail? It’s unclear, but it might involve removing some of the guardrails ChatGPT currently operates within. While exciting, this concept raises questions about the potential impact on our online interaction.

A Better Sora: AI Video Generation

Sora, released as part of the ’12 Days of OpenAI’ event, has received widespread acclaim. However, its long development process has allowed competitors to catch up. While we appreciate its capabilities, we’d love to see a more practical Sora that can make our lives easier.

What Would I Love to See?

As AI continues to evolve, we’re excited to see what 2025 holds. Improvements to ChatGPT, particularly better memory and a deep research feature, are at the top of my wish list. Will we see new features that aren’t on the original wishlist? Only time will tell, but we’re certainly eager to see what’s in store.

Will the actual 2025 deliver? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – we’re excited to see the next chapter in AI history unfold.
