OpenAI plans to release a new 'open' AI language model in the coming months

OpenAI's having a change of heart. Picture a reluctant flipper resting on the high-dive, finally plunging into open waters. They're ready to unleash an “open” language model, thanks to pressure from competitors like DeepSeek and Meta who have been living the open-source dream. CEO Sam Altman has conceded that OpenAI hasn't exactly led the charge on open-sourcing, but he's teasing models with some snazzy “reasoning” capabilities, much like o3-mini.
