Open Weights and AI for All
OpenAI NewsAI的下一个前沿不仅关乎能力，更关乎谁能使用它。 我们致力于将AI交到尽可能多人的手中，这一使命驱动着我们前进。今天发布的我们最强大的开源权重模型，是向前迈出的重要一步，使先进的AI更加开放、灵活，并在全球范围内更易获取。 这是我们更广泛努力的一部分，旨在确保AI惠及大众，而非集中于少数人手中。因此，我们将这些模型整合进“OpenAI for Countries”计划以及我们非营利组织对社区前线团体的支持中。
“OpenAI for Countries”帮助我们的盟友和合作伙伴构建基于民主价值观的AI基础设施。通过向各国政府提供这些模型，我们支持在美国主导的框架下全球AI的建设，使各国能够利用AI驱动的经济增长、创新和机遇。对于关键摇摆州来说，强大开源权重模型的可用性将激励他们发展民主AI，而非专制AI。
同时，通过我们自己的非营利组织向全国各地的受助团体提供这些模型，我们将赋能非营利组织利用这些模型扩大影响力，服务更多人群。
这些是我们最先进的开源权重推理模型，能够处理复杂问题解决，且适应多种任务。它们赋予任何人——从个人开发者、本地非营利组织，到大型企业和政府——在自己的基础设施上运行和定制AI的自由，实现了跨行业、社区和国家的AI民主化。这些模型也降低了新兴市场、资源有限领域和小型组织的门槛。拥有合适的工具，人们可以构建、创新并开启新的机遇。
开源模型还为推进美国主导的民主AI创造了强大的网络效应。当众多开发者使用并改进相同工具时，每一次贡献——无论是新集成、微调还是性能提升——都惠及整个社区。这正如Linux操作系统运行着全球大量服务器：开源协作确保整体大于部分之和。正如科学通过渐进贡献推动重大突破，共享的AI工具让最佳创意更快涌现，惠及更多人。
这也具有战略意义。生产最广泛采用AI模型的国家，将塑造全球标准。选择基于美国开发的模型，实际上是对美国创新和价值观的认可。在智能时代，AI模型是一种软实力：当政府和企业采用源自美国的模型时，他们选择了一个以可靠性、透明度和民主规范为根基的生态系统。
白宫最新的AI行动计划正确强调，开源权重模型能够强化美国的AI领导地位，支持学术研究，并扩展至工业和政府领域。我们的开源权重模型正是为此时刻而设计：与美国政策优先事项保持一致，获得跨政治光谱的广泛支持，同时赋予全球开发者自由，按自己的方式创新。
这一直是我们工作的核心主题。正如我们在三月向白宫科技政策办公室提交的建议中所述：“我们认为AI应开源还是闭源的问题是伪命题——两者兼备，且能互补，促进基于美国框架的AI建设。”
开源模型还为有严格数据驻留或安全要求的政府和机构创造新机遇。在数据不能出境且无法使用第三方云服务的地区，开源权重模型提供了一种安全灵活的方式，利用先进AI的同时保持敏感信息的本地控制。
此次发布延续了OpenAI发布开源模型的传统，包括Whisper、GPT-2和CLIP。它将在民主轨道上构建下一代AI基础设施——基于开放、知识自由和广泛访问的模型。通过“OpenAI for Countries”和我们的非营利组织，这些模型将助力实现一个AI利益惠及更多人、各国均能参与AI经济、创新遍及全球社区的未来。
AI’s next frontier isn’t just about capability—it’s about who gets to use it. Our mission to put AI in the hands of as many people as possible is what drives us. Today’s release of our most capable open-weights models is a major step forward that makes advanced AI more open, flexible, and accessible worldwide. It’s part of our broader effort to ensure AI is available to the many and not concentrated in the hands of the few. That’s why we’re integrating these models into both our OpenAI for Countries initiative and our nonprofit's support for groups on the frontlines of their communities.
OpenAI for Countries helps our allies and partners build AI infrastructure rooted in democratic values. By offering these models to governments, we’re supporting the global buildout of AI on US-led rails—enabling nations to tap into AI-driven economic growth, innovation, and opportunity. For swing states, the availability of powerful open-weight models will be an incentive to build on democratic AI and not autocratic AI.
And by offering it through our own nonprofit to grantees across the country, we’ll be equipping nonprofits to use these models to scale their impact and serve more people.
There are our most advanced open-weight reasoning models, which can handle advanced problem-solving and are adaptable to many tasks. They give anyone—from individual developers and local nonprofits, to large enterprises and governments—the freedom to run and customize AI on their own infrastructure, democratizing access to AI across industries, communities, and countries globally. These models also lowers barriers for emerging markets, resource-constrained sectors, and smaller organizations. With the right tools in their hands, people can build, innovate, and unlock new opportunities.
Open models also create a powerful network effect for advancing US-led democratic AI. When many developers use and improve the same tools, every contribution—new integrations, fine-tunes, or performance improvements—benefits the whole community. It’s the same reason that Linux runs a major share of the world’s servers: open-source collaboration ensures that the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Just as science advances through incremental contributions that build toward major breakthroughs, shared AI tools let the best ideas emerge faster and reach more people.
There is also a strategic dimension. The country that produces the most widely adopted AI models shapes the global standards that others follow. Choosing to build on models developed in the US is effectively a bet on American innovation and values. In the Intelligence Age, AI models are a form of soft power: when governments and companies adopt US-origin models, they’re choosing an ecosystem rooted in reliability, transparency, and democratic norms.
The White House’s new AI Action Plan rightly emphasizes that open-weight models can strengthen America’s AI leadership, support academic research, and expand across industry and government. Our open-weights models are designed to meet that moment: to align with US policy priorities that have broad support across the political spectrum while giving developers everywhere the freedom to innovate on their own terms.
This has been a consistent theme in our work. As we noted in our March submission to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to help inform the new AI Action Plan: “We believe the question of whether AI should be open or closed source is a false choice—we need both, and they can work in a complementary way that encourages the building of AI on American rails.”
Open models also create new opportunities for governments and institutions with strict data-residency or security requirements. In places where data cannot leave the country and using a third party cloud service isn’t possible, open-weight models can provide a secure and flexible way to harness advanced AI while keeping sensitive information under local control.
The release continues a history of OpenAI releasing open source models, including Whisper, GPT‑2, and CLIP. It will build the next generation of AI infrastructure on democratic rails—models rooted in openness, intellectual freedom, and broad access. Through OpenAI for Countries and our nonprofit, these models will bring us closer to a world where the benefits of AI reach more people, nations of all sizes participate in the AI economy, and innovation anywhere lifts communities everywhere.
