OpenAI has indefinitely delayed the release of its open model, citing unresolved safety risks. CEO Sam Altman warned of potential irreversible consequences if the model were released prematurely. The decision reflects the company's prioritization of safety over speed in AI deployment.

Originally slated for release next week, the open-weight model WOULD have been OpenAI's first major open-source contribution in years. Altman confirmed the postponement on July 11, noting additional safety evaluations are needed. The delay comes as the company grapples with long-term risk assessments for AI systems.
