OpenAI Announces First Open-Weight AI Model with Reasoning Capabilities
- OpenAI, led by CEO Sam Altman and founded in 2015, will release a new "open weight" AI model with reasoning capabilities in the coming months.
- This decision to release an open-weight model comes after internal discussions at OpenAI and in response to the growing popularity of Meta's Llama models and DeepSeek's R1 model.
- The model, which can be run on personal hardware, will be evaluated according to OpenAI's preparedness framework and modified post-release, with developers invited to apply for early access and attend hosted events.
- Sam Altman stated that OpenAI has been on the wrong side of history regarding open-sourcing technologies and that they need to figure out a different open-source strategy.
- OpenAI's move towards open-weight models reflects increasing pressure from rivals like DeepSeek and a broader trend in the AI community, including Meta's Llama, towards more accessible AI models, although some models' training data remains secret.
