In light of the recent success of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI firm known for its open-source approach, leading figures in the Western AI sector, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, are re-evaluating their strategies. Altman expressed regrets over OpenAI's past reluctance regarding open-source models and acknowledged the necessity for change. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's recent bid for OpenAI, although declined, aims to push the organization back to its original open principles, highlighting a broader industry trend towards open-source AI methodologies for innovation and collaboration.
"I personally think we have been on the wrong side of history here and need to figure out a different open source strategy," Altman stated.
"It's time for OpenAI to return to the open source, safety-focused force for good it once was. We will make sure that happens," Musk claimed.
"DeepSeek benefited from open research and open source, adding its own new ideas 'on top of other people's work,'" said LeCun.
With the rise of successful models like DeepSeek, there is pressure on organizations like OpenAI to adapt their strategies towards more openness.
