OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: ‘Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but…’
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has shared a post on microblogging site X, announcing a delay in the launch of the company’s upcoming open-weight AI model. The model was originally scheduled to launch next week. In the post, Altman said the teams needs more time to carry out safety tests and closely review areas that could pose risks. “We planned to launch our open-weight model next week..we are delaying it,” he wrote, adding “we need time to run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas…we are not yet sure how long it will take us.”
OpenAI is planning to release the model with open weights, meaning developers and researchers will be able to download and use the AI system on their own.
