OpenAI 🤝 Developers

OpenAI might finally be warming up to open source. Sam Altman just admitted they’ve been “on the wrong side of history” after DeepSeek—a Chinese AI startup—launched open-source models that are competitive with the best in the industry. Now, OpenAI is reassessing its approach, considering releasing more model weights and research.

This shift isn’t just about optics—it’s a response to real momentum in open-source AI. Meta’s Llama models have gained traction, proving that open-source LLMs can be both powerful and widely adopted. DeepSeek’s models go a step further by exposing their reasoning process step-by-step, an approach that aligns with how developers debug and iterate. OpenAI seems to be taking notes, signaling a potential move toward greater transparency.

For developers, this could mean more accessible, cutting-edge models without vendor lock-in—something open-source advocates have been pushing for. OpenAI isn’t likely to go fully open, but as competition heats up, the balance between proprietary advantages and community-driven development is becoming harder to ignore.
