OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared a post on July 12, 2025, on X (formerly Twitter), and announced a delay in the launch of the company’s much-awaited open-weight AI model. The release, originally planned for next week, has been pushed back. Altman wrote, "We are delaying it; we need time to run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas. we are not yet sure how long it will take us." Altman further added, "While we trust the community will build great things with this model, once weights are out, they can’t be pulled back. this is new for us and we want to get it right." The upcoming launch holds major importance in the AI world, particularly as it could align with OpenAI’s potential rollout of ChatGPT 5. He ended with, “Sorry to be the bearer of bad news; we are working super hard!” Elon Musk Shuts Down Rumours of xAI Seeking USD 200 Billion Valuation in Next Fundraising Round, Says ‘We Have Plenty of Capital’.
