OpenAI has announced a new delay in the release of its open source model, which CEO Sam Altman says will be launched only after additional safety tests.
Reasons for Delay
CEO Sam Altman stated that the release of the model has been postponed indefinitely to conduct further safety testing and review high-risk areas. He mentioned, "We need time to run additional safety tests. We are not yet sure how long it will take us."
Comparison with Other AI Models
OpenAI's anticipated model is set to be freely available for developers, and it is being compared to other well-known projects, such as Meta’s Llama and the Chinese model Kimi K2 from Moonshot AI, which claims to outperform OpenAI's GPT-4.1 on several benchmarks.
Future of Open AI Models
The final version of the OpenAI model is expected to be designed as 'best-in-class' according to TechCrunch. Altman and his team acknowledge that thorough preparation is needed for a successful launch, creating uncertainties for developers.
The delay in the release of OpenAI's model highlights the importance of ensuring safety and quality in artificial intelligence development. Expectations continue to grow among developers and clients.
