Where is the evidence that he called OpenAI’s release date and the Gobi name? All I see is a tweet claiming the latter but it seems the original tweet isn’t even up?
Predicting the GPT-4 launch date can easily be disproven with the confidence game. It’s possible he just created a prediction for every day and deleted the ones that didn’t turn out right.
For the Gobi prediction it’s tricky. The only evidence is the Threadreader and a random screenshot from a guy who seems clearly related to jim. I am very suspicious of the Threadreader one. On one hand I don’t see a way it can be faked, but it’s very suspicious that the Gobi prediction is Jimmy’s only post that was saved there despite him making an even bigger bombshell “prediction”. It’s also possible, though unlikely, that the Information’s article somehow found his tweet and used it as a source for their article.
What kills Jimmy’s credibility for me is his prediction back in January (you can use the Wayback Machine to find it) that OAI had finished training GPT-5, no not a GPT-5 level system, the ACTUAL GPT-5 in October 2022 and that it was 125T parameters.
Also goes without saying, pruning his entire account is suspicious too.
I’ll try to find them, but this was what people were saying. They also said he deleted past tweets so that evidence may forever be gone.
I remember one tweet where Jimmy said something like, “Gobi? That’s old news, I said that months ago, you need to move on to the new thing.” And I think he linked the tweet though I’m very unsure atm. Need to look it up, but you can use the above for a search.

This is the tweet for Gobi: https://x.com/apples_jimmy/status/1703871137137176820?s=46&t=YyfxSdhuFYbTafD4D1cE9A
I asked someone if it’s fake. Apparently not, you can find it on google archive: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1651837957618409472.html
