🚨 OpenAI’s “Open” Model Isn’t About Openness - It’s About Optics
Just days after announcing a $40B raise at a $300B valuation, OpenAI now promises to release its first “open-weight” language model since GPT-2.
Sounds generous, 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵?
𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙋𝙍 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙮.
The model will:
- Be filtered through OpenAI’s internal frameworks
- Be released “post-evaluation”
- Allow modifications only within pre-approved constraints
Meanwhile, $18B of the funding goes into Stargate - their closed data centre initiative to consolidate infrastructure further under their control.
🤔 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗡𝗼𝘄?
Because the “open” frontier is slipping away from them.
📈 Meta’s Llama
📈 DeepSeek’s multilingual push
📈 Mistral’s fast-growing ecosystem
Developers are voting with their GPUs.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲?
💥 Innovation vs. Gatekeeping
💥 Community-driven tooling vs. Billion-dollar bottlenecks
💥 Open frameworks vs. Compliance theatre
OpenAI’s latest announcement 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨.
It’s about shaping the narrative - after locking in the next $40 billion.
If you're stoked about the news, you're not seeing the big picture. Most likely, you can't even afford the hardware it requires.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹.
Ownership of your AI future is non-negotiable.
