OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has acknowledged that the company has lost its edge in the AI space with the emergence of DeepSeek and its R1 reasoning model.
OpenAI admits to being on the wrong side of history in terms of open-source development and plans to figure out a different open-source strategy.
OpenAI acknowledges that DeepSeek's R1 reasoning model is strong, and although they aim to produce better models, they anticipate having a less significant lead than in previous years.
OpenAI explores the possibility of making older, less cutting-edge AI models open-source and teases upcoming releases, including the o3 reasoning model and potential updates to the DALL-E 3 image generator.
