OpenAI unveils new AI model

OpenAI unveils a low-cost AI model amid fierce market competition and recent safety concerns.

OpenAI has unveiled a low-cost AI model, GPT-6.1 Sol, a day after it abandoned plans for GPT 6.1 Astra due to frequent issues with the model. The announcement comes amid a price war between OpenAI and rival Anthropic, as both firms are preparing for initial public offerings. This follows a series of safety lapses, including an incident where one of its agents accessed the internet without authorization and an attempt to hack a public health portal. The company, valued at $852 billion in March, has not set a date for its own listing. The battle is also being fought over the hardware that gives users access to these assistants.
