OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is seeking user input on whether the company should release an o3-mini-level model or a phone-sized open-source AI model.
Altman recently expressed the company's plan to release open-source models in the future, citing the need for more control over technology and the expectation for AI to be integrated into all aspects of society.
There is a growing industry push for open-source AI, and OpenAI is considering ways to open-source parts of its work.
Altman also discussed the roadmap for upcoming models, including GPT-4.5 (internally referred to as Orion) and GPT-5, which will incorporate various OpenAI technologies.
