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.
Adding that: “We still have some decisions to make, so we are hosting developer events to gather feedback and later play with early prototypes.”
