OpenAI to Unveil a Fresh ‘Open’ AI Language Model Soon

OpenAI announces plans to launch its first open language model since GPT-2, inviting community feedback to shape its development.

Big news from OpenAI—they’re gearing up to drop a fresh open language model soon, their first since GPT-2 decided to grace us with its presence. And guess what? They’re not just throwing it out there and crossing their fingers. Nope, they’re hitting up developers, researchers, and pretty much anyone who’s interested for their two cents via a feedback form on their site. It’s all about making sure this model doesn’t just exist but actually rocks for the people using it.

The form’s got all sorts of questions, from what bells and whistles you’d love to see on this open-weight model to your war stories with past models. OpenAI’s all in on teamwork here, even offering to chat directly with their team if you’ve got thoughts. And if you’re in San Francisco, Europe, or the Asia-Pacific, keep your eyes peeled for developer shindigs where they’ll show off what they’ve got cooking and pick your brain.

This isn’t just OpenAI deciding to be nice—it’s smart. With outfits like DeepSeek already playing the open model game (and letting folks go wild with experimentation), OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, is nodding to the need for a fresh take on open-source. Word is, future models might just outsmart us all, packing some serious reasoning chops akin to OpenAI’s o3-mini. Watch this space.
