OpenAI Announces Plans for Upcoming Open-Source Language Model

OpenAI announced intentions to release a new open language model, its first since GPT-2, a few days after revealing its most recent picture generator. Through a feedback form, the business is looking for opinions from researchers, developers, and the larger AI community to help shape its progress. With the use of extensive datasets and advanced algorithms, open-source language models (OS LLMs) are made to comprehend, produce, and work with human language in a range of language-based jobs.

“We are planning to release our first open-weight language model since GPT-2,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on X (previously Twitter) in an announcement. Although we’ve been considering this for a while, other issues took precedence. It feels important to do it now.

Altman went on to say that OpenAI intends to assess the model using its readiness framework prior to its release, a procedure that is used for all of its models. He wrote in the post, “And we will do extra work given that we know this model will be modified post-release.”

Altman added that more sessions are scheduled for Europe and the Asia-Pacific area, with the first developer event taking place in San Francisco in the upcoming weeks.

This news comes after Altman recently claimed that ChatGPT’s new image generation function caused it to gain one million members in just one hour. Users turned their profile images, pets, and even politicians into amusing anime-style photographs as part of the “Turn it into Ghibli-style” movement, which swiftly went viral on the internet.
