OpenAI announced its new open language model, which will be released soon. This announcement came with a feedback form published by the AI company on its website. The company wrote
“We’re excited to collaborate with developers, researchers, and the broader community to gather inputs and make this model as useful as possible. If you’re interested in joining a feedback session with the OpenAI team, please let us know [in the form] below.”
OpenAI released its GPT-2 language model in 2019. The model was trained to predict the next word in a sample of 40 gigabytes of internet text. That system generated text adapted to the style and context of the conditioning text that allowed users to generate realistic and coherent continuations about a topic.
Now the company is taking online feedback from developers and researchers about the applications of open-weight models and their expectations from it. In the published feedback form, the platform asks questions like “What would you like to see in an open-weight model from OpenAI?” and “What open models have you used in the past?”
Developer Events
OpenAI plans to organize developer events to gather more feedback from developers. The first developer event is planned for San Francisco and will commence in the coming few weeks. It will be followed by sessions in European countries and the Asian-Pacific region. The company also envisions including demo prototypes of the model in future sessions.
Open Language Model
After DeepSeek launched its open language model, OpenAI is constantly under pressure to compete with its Chinese level in providing accessible language models to the AI community for experimentation and commercialization. This challenge led the AI company to adopt an ‘open’ approach toward GPT models that will be available for developers to run on their own hardwares. About this challenge, the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman said
“[I personally think we need to] figure out a different open source strategy. Not everyone at OpenAI shares this view, and it’s also not our current highest priority […] We will produce better models [going forward], but we will maintain less of a lead than we did in previous years.”
