OpenAI’s open model is delayed
The release of the first open model of OpenAI in years will be postponed until later this summer, CEO Sam Altman announced in one Post on X On Tuesday. Altman said the open model would be released somewhere after June.
‘[W]E will take a little more time with our open-weight model, ie expect it later this summer, but not [J]Une, “he wrote.”[O]Your research team has done something unexpected and very amazing and we think it will be worth the wait, but needs a little longer. “
OpenAI focused on an early summer release date for its open model, which is planned to have similar “reasoning options” as OpenAi’s O-series models. OpenAi strives for its open model to surpass the performance of other open reasoning models, such as Deepseek’s R1.
In the months since OpenAi first announced the intention to release an open model, the space has become more competitive. On Tuesday, Mistral – another AI Lab that often releases open models – has his first family of AI Reasoning models, called Magistral. In April, the Chinese AI -Lab Qwen released a family of Hybrid AI Redeneer models that can turn off between taking time to “make reason” by giving problems and also traditional, fast reactions.
In addition to increasing his performance on benchmarks, OpenAi has also considered adding various complex functions to its open AI model to make it more competitive. TechCrunch reported earlier that OpenAi leaders have discussed to enable the open AI model to connect to the company’s cloud-hosted AI models for complex questions. However, it is unclear whether these functions will reach the last open model.
The release of the open model of OpenAi seems to be important for the relationship of the company with researchers and developers. Altman has said earlier that OpenAi landed on the “wrong side of history” when it comes to open sourcing of his models. To correct that image, the company is confronted with enormous pressure to release an open model that is competitive with the best open supply in the industry.
