OpenAI CEO Sam Altman spoke publicly on the issue on Friday, proclaiming that his company is on the wrong side of history when it comes to transparency concerning the operation of the tool.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!These words of Altman were made when he was answering questions about one of his activities on Reddit under the topic «Ask me anything.» He was asked whether he would like to publish OpenAI research.
Altman responded that he was in favour of the idea and it is a matter of discussion within the San Francisco-based OpenAI platform.
“But personally I think that we have been on the wrong side of history here and, you know, it is high time to found the other way to go,” commented Altman.
Not all people at OpenAI agree to this opinion, as well as this is not the current focus of our work either.
DeepSeek is an almost equally new player in China, which presents its R1 chatbot with almost the same parameters – a low cost price and high performance, as well as beautiful declaration of open-sourcedness in contrast to competitors OpenAI, Google.
Open source means the release of the source code of the program as opposed to the final executable binary form that is to be run on a computer.
This has come at the backdrop of private companies’ goal of profit-making and defending the rights to patents.
Meta, DeepSeek and France-based AI developer Mistral try to stand apart from their competitors stating that they let app developers see how their frameworks work.
A member of the Reddit group questioned Altman if DeepSeek has altered his roadmap of future OpenAI models.
Referring to DeepSeek, Altman said, ‘It’s a very good model’.
“The production of better models will be achieved diligently; however, the margin of lead in comparison to the previous years, will be less.”
