Openai delays the release of the AI model in the “additional security tests”, “high-risk areas in high-risk areas”, and delay the spread of the last minute concern on “high-risk areas” and declared X (formerly Twitter). The decision, especially the agrama talent, along with Meta with open source models such as aggressive poached braconier and Llama 3, lands in the middle of a cruel AI arms race.
The model, which is an oral to reduce this week, would be the first basic open weight system in Openai, ie the development of developers, the main code and data weights to create their application projects or commercial instruments would be free to download and use the main code and data weights. However, Altman, once these models were released, “they cannot retreat.” This is the nature of the open source, and this delay increases the eyebrows along the AI community of this delay.
“When we trust in the community, it will build great things with this model, they cannot retreat after the weight of the weights,” Altman wrote X (previously twitter) on July 11. “It’s new to us and we want to get it right.”
We planned to launch our open weight model next week.
We are late; It takes time to run extra security tests and review high-risk areas. We are not sure how much time it will take us.
When trusting society, it will build great things with this model after weights …

What does “open weight” mean and why is it important?
In AI, “Weights”, millions of millions of moves like the brain wires, it allows you to make contact and decisions. When a company releases a model as “open weight”, it does not only share a plan; Gives a completely working brain. The developers are free to use productivity and productivity for download, change and build other harmful applications and create other malicious applications.
Open source models are accelerating the update, but also increases the risk of abuse, incorrect information and inconsistent specific versions. Therefore, if they are hurt, many Openai’s decision to annoy, as criticized, especially as a criticism around AI security and “model leaking”.
Rumors Swirl: What is the real reason for the delay?
Speaking from the developer online, the delay can be triggered by a large technical issue found before starting. The rumor model is expected to be smaller than a new open weight model in China’s beginning, in roughly trillion settings, but still “super powerful”, “super powerful”. Talking to the more effective coding capabilities, K2 K2, July 11, was released on the same day by Altman’s announcement.
Some online speculators accuse the unexpectedly strong performance and fear of being superior, it has no confirmation of Openai. It is clear that the company is a sense of pressure to deliver something safe, fast, fast and competitive.
As such as, the rumors that postpone open source model for like, but since I heard:
– is smaller than K2 as a model (<< 1T settings)
– super powerful
– But because of some (open absurd) due to the reason I could not say, they understood a great issue before being released …– Yuchen Jin (@yuchenj_uw) 13 July 2025
Meta factor
Openai’s delay comes at a time when he ate methane lunch, at least in the open source department. Mark Zuckerberg broadcasts increasingly strong open weight models like Llama 3, while silently in the best way. Talent War is real and affects the time and strategy on the board.
By postponing this issue, Openai can hope to prevent a defective starting to bend the credibility at a critical moment. But at the same time, it has already become a platform for developers looking for more low risk, transparent, changed AI tools that are behind the back.
What’s next?
Openai did not offer a new schedule for release. This silence leads to assumptions that the delay may result in last weeks. If the update is really on the table, the beginning may approach the autumn.
So far, the open source community is in standby mode. And it hung over the question: Openai can provide a powerful, secure and competitive model to adapt the acceleration of methane and adapt to Chinese opponents? In other words, can they get it before someone else does?
