During Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, an email surfaced revealing that Sam Altman had planned to release a GPT-3-class model capable of running locally.

Details

According to a email dated October 1, 2022 disclosed during Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman discussed open source strategy and mentioned the following plans:

  • A plan to develop a model with GPT-3-level performance and release it so it could run locally on consumer hardware
  • The intent was to preemptively act before other companies, such as Stability AI, released models of similar performance
  • The judgment that this strategy would have the effect of deterring other companies from releasing similar models and making it harder to secure funding for new open source projects
