Sam Altman confirms: OpenAI is planning to release a very powerful open-source model. It could be "near the frontier" and better than any current open-source model out there.

I doubt it. It can’t be open source and close to their frontier model. It’d cannibalize their business. Open source models are way more efficient than closed source. I can’t imagine the difference between the model they want to release open source and their frontier model is like the difference between o3 and GPT4.5. One has to cost way more or be a lot dumber

Meta AI researchers are fretting over the threat of Chinese AI, whose quality caught American firms, including OpenAI, by surprise.

Hype master playing his game 😂

I am excited for it if he make happen what he said

By "near the frontier" do they mean 4.1 then.

could be

wow, a really powerful open-source model from openai? that could shake things up big time! curious to see what "near the frontier" actually means in terms of performance. hopefully, it'll be a game-changer for the open-source ai community.

web3 already knows, we're ahead

I hate waiting…

The only thing better than the OpenAI models is the hype OpenAI can generate about their future models.
