Early OpenAI Board Email Leaked
maferase · reddit · 2026-07-20
This post includes a screenshot of an early OpenAI email to the board. The core message: the company was discussing open-source strategy and wanted to quickly release a language model roughly at GPT-3 capability that could run locally on consumer hardware; the email also mentioned that doing so would help suppress similar strong models from others, make it harder for new projects to raise funds, and that OpenAI believed it could produce a more "aligned" version than others.
