Sam Altman: We are currently facing computational bottlenecks, the new version of OpenAI may be delayed in release

OpenAI founder Sam Altman announced that the new version of OpenAI may be delayed due to computational bottlenecks, and the service might sometimes slow down.

Previously, Sam Altman stated on February 12th that he planned to launch GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 in the coming weeks or months. He also mentioned yesterday about releasing a "new open-source weight language model" with reasoning capabilities in the next few months. An open-source weight language model refers to a model that can be publicly used, downloaded, modified or deployed. Although it is not as open as a fully open source mode, it is a significant change compared to the completely closed GPT-3 and GPT-4. OpenAI partially opened up its GPT-2 model in February 2019 and completed full-scale opening up in November of the same year.
