OpenAI has announced plans to release its first 'open' language model since GPT-2, inviting feedback from developers and researchers. This move comes as competitors like DeepSeek and Meta gain traction with their own open models. OpenAI aims to gather community inputs through feedback sessions and will host events in San Francisco, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the need for a revised open-source strategy, emphasizing the model's reasoning capabilities. Despite past controversies, OpenAI is committed to improving its offerings in response to market demands.
