Sam Altman: OpenAI has been on the ‘wrong side of history’ concerning open source


In a Reddit AMA, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that he believes OpenAI has been 'on the wrong side of history' concerning its open source approach.

Altman and Weil attempted to dispel rumors that ChatGPT, the chatbot app through which OpenAI launches many of its models, would increase in price. This week, OpenAI announced a partnership with the U.S. government to give its models to the U.S. National Laboratories in part for nuclear defense research. Image generation tech has improved by leaps and bounds since DALL-E 3’s debut, and the model is no longer competitive on a number of benchmark tests.
