OpenAI has announced the postponement of the open-source large model that was initially scheduled for release this week, citing the necessity for additional time to conduct thorough safety testing. CEO Sam Altman emphasized that the team is undertaking a comprehensive review of the model, with a particular focus on high-risk areas, to guarantee its safety and reliability. Despite the initial plan to unveil the model next week, the decision to delay was made to prevent any irreversible issues that might arise post-release. Users have expressed their understanding, recognizing the paramount importance of safety testing, especially in the current landscape where large language models are susceptible to misuse. Altman stressed that ensuring the model's safety is their utmost priority, and this decision has garnered widespread community approval.
