In a recent tweet, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared the most desired features and improvements from the public for the company in 2025. While ChatGPT remains a focal point, the list covers a wide array of expectations, many of which could revolutionize the field of artificial intelligence.

The number one request on Altman’s list is AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence. AGI represents a significant leap from current AI capabilities, aiming for human-equivalent or even superhuman intelligence. However, experts, including Dr. Ben Goertzel, predict AGI’s arrival may not happen by 2025, with a more realistic timeline around 2029. Despite this, OpenAI is expected to make considerable progress toward AGI within the year.

Another popular request is an improved version of the 4.0 upgrade, with many looking for better performance and reliability. Users also want much better memory capabilities in AI systems. This would allow AI to recall past interactions and provide more personalized and relevant responses over time, addressing one of the common criticisms of current models.

Longer context is another feature on Altman’s wishlist. Users seek AI models that can process and retain longer conversations, which would improve the coherence and continuity of AI-generated content.

A “grown-up mode” is another intriguing idea. This could be a more mature or refined version of AI, potentially offering more advanced, nuanced responses and capabilities suitable for more professional or serious applications.

Deep research features are also a high priority. This would allow AI to perform detailed, complex research and provide users with more in-depth insights and information on various topics.

Other important requests include improvements to Sora, OpenAI’s technology platform, and better personalization options for users. Personalization would allow AI to adapt its responses based on the preferences and needs of individual users, making interactions more relevant and efficient.
