OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman announced the delay of the launch of the open-weight model to conduct further safety tests.
The open-weight model, originally scheduled for release next week, has been postponed indefinitely.
This is the second delay in the past month, with Altman emphasizing the importance of ensuring safety before release.
The decision coincides with rival xAI facing its own safety issues with its Grok chatbot, underlining the risks associated with releasing powerful models without sufficient safeguards.
