OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that the open ChatGPT model’s release date has been delayed again, and it's all about AI safety.
When DeepSeek released its DeepSeek reasoning model in early 2025, it tanked the US stock market. The Chinese startup showed a new way of training frontier AI that didn’t rely on access to expensive, high-end hardware. DeepSeek used software to make up for the premium Nvidia chips it couldn’t buy. That’s not the only thing DeepSeek did to induce panic. The startup released DeepSeek as an open-source model, allowing anyone on Earth to install the AI on their computers and run it locally.
Altman returned on July 12 with an update on the open ChatGPT, announcing another round of delays. Reports preceding his new tweet said OpenAI was about to release the open-weight model, and he confirmed those rumors. “We planned to launch our open-weight model next week,” Altman said on Friday. “We are delaying it; we need time to run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas. We are not yet sure how long it will take us.
