OpenAI Delays First Open-Source Large Model Release, Ensuring Safety Becomes Top Priority
OpenAI announced the postponement of its first open-source large model release, with CEO Sam Altman stating that more time is needed for safety testing and risk assessment. This new model, which has performance comparable to o3-mini, may be named 'Open Model,' but the extent of its openness remains unclear. Research Vice President Aidan Clark emphasized that the company maintains strict standards for open source, as the model cannot be recalled once released. Although the delay disappointed some users, OpenAI believes ensuring safety and taking a responsible approach is more important. This decision will shape the future of models.
