OpenAI plans to release a new ‘open’ language model in the coming months
OpenAI has announced its intention to release a new “open” language model in the coming months. This move comes as the company faces increasing pressure from rivals such as Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, which have adopted an “open” approach to launching models.
According to OpenAI’s website, the company is inviting developers, researchers, and members of the broader community to provide feedback on its new language model through a dedicated form. The form asks questions such as “What would you like to see in an open-weight model from OpenAI?” and “What open models have you used in the past?”
OpenAI has stated that it is excited to collaborate with developers, researchers, and the broader community to gather inputs and make this model as useful as possible. The company is also offering the opportunity for interested parties to join a feedback session with its team.
This move marks a significant shift in OpenAI’s approach to releasing models. In contrast to OpenAI’s strategy, these “open” competitors make their models available to the AI community for experimentation and commercialization. The release of an open language model from OpenAI could help the company regain its competitive edge, which has been threatened by this new approach.
OpenAI’s CEO recently acknowledged that the company may need to rethink its approach to releasing models. In a recent Reddit Q&A, he stated that he believes OpenAI has been on the wrong side of history when it comes to open-sourcing its technologies.
