OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a further delay in the release of its open-weight model, citing the need for additional safety testing. The model, initially scheduled for release next week, had already been postponed once earlier this summer. This decision underscores OpenAI's commitment to responsible AI development and deployment, even at the cost of delaying highly anticipated releases. The specifics of the safety concerns prompting the delay were not disclosed, but the company emphasized its dedication to ensuring the model's safe and ethical use.
