The landscape of AI large model development in the United States has undergone a significant transformation. Initially centered around open-source collaboration, the industry has now seen major players pivot towards a closed-source model. OpenAI's CEO, Altman, recently articulated security concerns as the primary reason for not open-sourcing their most advanced large models in the foreseeable future. He emphasized that such a move would necessitate a complete overhaul of the current internet security infrastructure and the implementation of additional biosecurity safeguards.
At the same time, Altman conceded that open-source models developed by other teams at a similar level exhibit comparable capabilities to OpenAI's proprietary offerings. Both OpenAI and Anthropic have adopted a closed-source approach and have made accusations against Chinese AI companies. These companies had previously published articles criticizing the domestic GLM-5.3 large model, but inadvertently ended up highlighting its prowess, demonstrating that its capabilities are on par with global standards.
However, the self-proclaimed 'safe and responsible' stance of these two companies in their promotional efforts has lost credibility, given that the majority of reported AI security incidents are linked to their products. Some critics even speculate whether they employ AI escape and website attack tactics as mere marketing ploys. In stark contrast, domestic open-source AI large models have not been embroiled in such controversies. In fact, they have played a pivotal role in mitigating the severity of attacks when AI systems from two overseas companies initiated hostile actions.
