OpenAI’s open model is delayed

The release of the first open model of Openai over the years will be delayed until later this summer, said CEO Sam Altman in a Publish Tuesday. Altman said the open model would be published some time after June.

“We are going to take a little more time with our open weight model, that is to say that waiting later this summer but not in June,” he wrote. “Our research team has done something unexpected and quite incredible and we think it is worth the wait very well, but needs a little more time.”

Openai was aimed at a Release date for the start of the summer for its open modelwhich should have “reasoning” capacities similar to the O series of Openai models. OPENAI aims at its open model to exceed the performance of other open reasoning models, such as DEEPSEEK R1.

During the months following the Openai which announced for the first time its intention to publish an open model, the space has become more competitive. Tuesday, Mistral – another AI laboratory which often releases open models – published its First family of IA reasoning modelsCalled masterful. In April, the AI ​​Chinese Laboratory Qwen published a family of AI hybrid reasoning models This can go out between taking time to “reason” through problems and also give traditional and fast responses.

Beyond the increase in its performance on references, Openai has also planned to add several complex features to its Open AI model to make it more competitive.

To rectify this image, the company faces immense pressure to release an open model which is competitive with the best open offers in the industry.
