๐จ OpenAIโs โOpenโ Model Isnโt About Openness - Itโs About Optics
Just days after announcing a $40B raise at a $300B valuation, OpenAI now promises to release its first โopen-weightโ language model since GPT-2.
Sounds generous, ๐ณ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต?

The model will:
- Be filtered through OpenAIโs internal frameworks
- Be released โpost-evaluationโ
- 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.
๐ค ๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ก๐ผ๐?
Because the โopenโ frontier is slipping away from them.

OpenAIโs latest announcement ๐ช๐ด๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ด๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ.
Itโs 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.
