OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company is preparing to release a powerful new reasoning model with open parameters and source code. It will debut "in the coming months."
“We’ve been thinking about this for a long time but other priorities took precedence. Now it feels important to do,” Altman writes. “We still have some decisions to make, so we are hosting developer events to gather feedback and later play with early prototypes.”
As a reminder, OpenAI recently closed a new $40 billion funding round led by SoftBank, which will raise the AI startup's valuation to $300 billion. This is the largest funding round for a private technology company in history.
