The feedback form includes questions about user preferences for features in the new model and past experiences with open models.

Altman emphasized that the upcoming open model will possess reasoning capabilities akin to OpenAI's o3-mini and will undergo thorough evaluation before its release.

To facilitate this collaboration, OpenAI will host a series of developer events, starting with one in San Francisco, followed by sessions in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

OpenAI invites interested individuals to join feedback sessions with their team to further enhance the model's utility.

Concerns have been raised about Altman's leadership following allegations in a new book regarding his handling of model safety reviews prior to his brief ousting in November 2023.

The organization is enthusiastic about collaborating with the community to improve the model and ensure it meets user needs.

OpenAI has announced plans to release its first open-weight language model since GPT-2, with the announcement made through a feedback form published today.

The organization is actively seeking input from developers, researchers, and the broader community to shape the development of this new model.

Participants in these events are encouraged to explain their intended use for the open-weight model, providing valuable insights for its development.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, acknowledged in a recent Reddit Q&A that the company has previously been on the 'wrong side of history' regarding open-sourcing technologies and is now reconsidering its strategy.

This shift towards an open model comes as OpenAI faces competition from rivals like the Chinese AI lab DeepSeek, which have successfully adopted more open approaches to AI model releases.

Meta's Llama models have demonstrated the effectiveness of open model strategies, achieving over 1 billion downloads as of March 2025.
