Openai says she intends to release her first model of “open” language since GPT – 2 “in the coming months”.
This is according to a feedback form, the company published on its website on Monday. The form, which Openai is inviting “developers, researchers and (members of) the wider community” to fill, includes questions like, “What would you like to see in an open weighing model from Openai?” and “Which open models have you used in the past?”
“We are excited to collaborate with developers, researchers and the wider community to collect inputs and make this model more useful,” Openi wrote on his website. “If you are interested in joining a feedback session with the OpenAi team, please let us know (in the form) below.”
Openai plans to host developers’ events to collect feedback and, in the future, demo prototypes of the model. The developer’s first event will take place in San Francisco within weeks, followed by sessions in Europe and the regions of Asia-Pacific.
We are issuing a model this year that you can execute in your hardware https://t.co/0ji9oeznyr

Openai is facing increasing pressure from rivals such as the Chinese Lab Deepseek who have adopted an “open” approach to start the models. In contrast to the Openai strategy, these “open” competitors make their models available to the community of he for experiments and, in some cases, commercialization.
It has proven to be an extremely successful strategy for some clothing. Meta, who has invested heavily in her Llama family of Him’s open models, said earlier in March that Llama had accumulated over 1 billion downloads. Meanwhile, Deepseek has quickly gathered a large base of users around the world and has attracted the attention of local investors.
In a recent Reddit Q & A, CEO of Openai Sam Altman said he thinks Openai was on the wrong side of history when it comes to open sources of technologies.
“(I personally think we should) understand a different open -source strategy,” Altman said. “Not everyone in Openai share this view, and it is not our highest advantage (…) we will produce better models (going forward), but we will keep less advantage than we did in previous years.”
Altman expanded to the Openai open model plans in a post on Monday afternoon, saying the next Openai model will have “reasoning” skills along the Openai O3 Mini lines.
“(B) Moreover, we will appreciate this model according to (for) our readiness framework, as we would do for any other model,” Altman said. “(A) Nd We will do additional work given that we know that this model will be modified after issuing (…) (W) we are excited to see what developers and how big companies and governments use it where they prefer to run a model themselves.”
Parts of a future book by the Wall Street Journal Keach Hagey reporter published over the weekend claim Altman cheated Openai’s leaders for model security reviews before his short crash in November 2023.
