Recently, according to reports by the internationally renowned financial media Seeking Alpha, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed during a "Ask Me Anything" event held on Reddit last Friday that OpenAI is actively exploring a new open-source strategy. This statement immediately sparked widespread attention in the industry regarding OpenAI's future development direction.

Altman clearly pointed out in the event that although there are differing views within the company on the open-source strategy, OpenAI must reassess and adjust its open-source policies in light of increasingly fierce market competition. He also emphasized that this policy adjustment is not currently the company's top priority, but it is indeed an indispensable part of future development.

It is worth noting that OpenAI Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil also expressed his views at the same event. He said that OpenAI is considering making some older AI models open-source. This move will not only help promote the popularization and development of AI technology but may also bring new market opportunities for the company.

However, while the academic community and researchers generally welcome open source, the business community holds a cautious attitude. Due to the possibility of open-source models leaking corporate secrets, many companies prefer to use closed AI models. According to PYMNTS reports, DeepSeek's recently launched low-cost open-source model has already caused concern in the business community and is even seen as a potential threat.

According to Bloomberg reports, he will frequently travel between Tokyo, New Delhi, Dubai, and Germany in the coming weeks to have in-depth exchanges with investors, developers, and industry leaders, jointly discussing the future development trends in the field of artificial intelligence.
