Openai chief Sam Altman recently recognized that his artificial intelligence technology company was “on the wrong side of history” concerning the transparency of the chatpt manufacturer on his technology.
On Friday, during an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, Altman expressed his support for the idea of ​​publishing Openai’s research, indicating that the subject is under discussion in Openai, based in San Francisco.
“I personally think that we have been on the wrong side of the story here and that we have to find a different open source strategy,” said Altman.
“Everyone in Openai does not share this point of view, and it is not our current priority either.”
The newcomer to Chinese AI Deepseek made the headlines for the low cost and high performance of his cat R1, but also his claim to be a public “open source” project unlike the closed alternatives of Openai and Google.
Open Source refers to the practice of programmers revealing the source code of their software, rather than the simple “compiled” program ready to operate on a computer.
This faced with the continuation of income from private companies and the protection of intellectual property.
The developer of IA Meta, Deepseek and France Mistral claims to stand out by allowing developers free access to the internal functions of their tools.
A member of the Reddit group asked Altman if Deepseek had changed his plans for future Openai models.
“It’s a very good model,” said Altman about Deepseek. “We will produce better models, but we will maintain less an advance than we have done in previous years.”
