During the Reddit’s “ASK Me Anything” session, Openai CEO’s Sam Altman acknowledged that the company was excessively confidential about AI technology. He acknowledged that Openai’s historic closed approach has been placed on an open sourcing “wrong side of history” and has expressed his personal support for improving transparency and open research.
However, this promotion to enhance transparency emphasizes that it is not a universal view in Openai, and I personally prefer it, but open sourcing is now the highest priority for the company. Not a matter. Fostering joint innovation with properties.
Altman’s comment is that companies like Deepseek, a Chinese AI startup, are waving in an open source strategy. Deepseek’s R1 chatbot is attracting attention not only for its performance but also on the company’s commitment of sharing code.
What is the Chinese deep seek model?
Open source models allow developers to access, investigate, change the source code that is the basis of software, promote community development, and accelerate innovation. This shared approach is often confronted with a business model of a private AI company that prioritizes profits and its own technology. Openai is more closed, but other important players such as Meta, Deepseek, and French Startup Mistral have accepted open source development and establish their position as accessibility and collaboration champions.
Sam Altoman accepts the Deep Shek model as “very good”
Reddit users specifically asked Altman whether the appearance of DeepSeek and its open source R1 chatbot affected Openai’s future model development plan. Altman acknowledged the DeepSeek model as “very good”, but Openai was confident that it would continue to develop more advanced models. However, he acknowledges that Openai’s competitive advantage may not be as substantial as the past few years, and is equal to the movement of open source like DeepSeek and the rise of competitors with AI. It suggests that it is creating a place.
