Recently, OpenAI CEO Ultraman, frankly shared the challenges and response strategies faced by the company on a popular podcast show. He specifically mentioned the Chinese competitor DeepSeek and its cost-effective AI model, which puts huge pressure on OpenAI. Ultraman acknowledged the fierce competition and said OpenAI is actively responding and trying to stay ahead. He revealed what OpenAI will take, including communication and learning with DeepSeek, and the upcoming GPT-5 model.
Recently, in a popular podcast show, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman frankly shared the company's current challenges and response strategies. With the rapid rise of DeepSeek, an emerging force, on a global scale, OpenAI feels unprecedented competitive pressure.
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. ”
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.
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.
Faced with the strong rise of DeepSeek, OpenAI chose to actively respond and consolidate its market position by launching GPT-5 and improving user experience. This indicates that competition in the field of artificial intelligence will become more intense, and will also bring more choices and better services to users.
