In a recent popular podcast show, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman frankly shared the challenges and strategies the company is currently facing. With the rise of Chinese startup DeepSeek, OpenAI feels unprecedented competitive pressure.
The rise of DeepSeek has attracted industry attention
Ultraman said that the news that DeepSeek, a competitor from China, has launched new models not only powerful but also purportedly extremely cost-effective, causing widespread shock throughout the industry. Faced with this situation, he admitted: "We are working hard to stay ahead every day and avoid being surpassed. The emergence of DeepSeek is not surprising, but we know that the emergence of strong competitors and advanced models are inevitable trends in the development of the industry. ”
OpenAI actively seeks communication with DeepSeek
In order to meet this challenge, Ultraman revealed that OpenAI is actively seeking opportunities to communicate with the DeepSeek team in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the other party's technology and market strategies, so as to better formulate its own response strategies.
GPT-5 model is about to be released, free version of ChatGPT will provide unlimited use
In addition, Ultraman also announced a major news: OpenAI will launch the GPT-5 model in the next few months. This model will integrate many advanced technologies of OpenAI, including o3, and is widely used in chatbot ChatGPT and API platforms. It is worth noting that OpenAI decided not to publish o3 as a standalone model, but to incorporate it into GPT-5.
The good news for users is that the free version of ChatGPT will allow users to use GPT-5 to talk without restrictions under standard intelligent settings, and OpenAI will also take a series of measures to prevent abuse. This move will undoubtedly further improve the user experience and meet the needs of more users.
Industry competition intensifies, OpenAI accelerates technology iteration
The rise of DeepSeek has put unprecedented competitive pressure on OpenAI. Ultraman repeatedly stated in public that OpenAI will accelerate technological iteration to maintain its industry leadership. He also plans to meet with DeepSeek's leadership to explore possible collaboration and learning opportunities.
The release of GPT-5 marks another important progress by OpenAI in the field of artificial intelligence. As competition intensifies, the innovation and application of AI technology will usher in a new peak. Users will benefit from it and enjoy a smarter and more convenient service experience.
