The new language model will be publicly available for anyone to use, download, modify or deploy, unlike OpenAI’s other recent releases, which are closed systems.
OpenAI is set to launch an “open” version of its language model this year, allowing developers to run the model on their own hardware.
In an update posted to X on March 31, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the artificial intelligence firm would release the powerful “new open-weight language model with reasoning” in the coming months but first wanted to gather feedback about “how to make it maximally useful.”
“We’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but other priorities have taken precedence. Now it feels important to do,” he said, adding it was the first “open-weight” model since GPT-2 in 2019.
