OpenAI has delayed the release of its open model, which was initially scheduled for next week, for further safety testing and review of high-risk areas.
The delay marks the second time this summer the open model release has been pushed back, with no set timeline for its launch.
The release of OpenAI's open model is highly anticipated in the AI community, as it will be freely available for developers to download and run locally.
A Chinese AI startup, Moonshot AI, recently introduced a one trillion parameter open AI model that reportedly outperforms OpenAI's GPT-4.1 model on certain benchmarks, increasing competition in the open AI ecosystem.
