CEO Sam Altman explained the company's shift to closed AI models in a Reddit AMA on Thursday.

Altman responded that open source "plays an important role in the ecosystem and there are great open source models in the world."
The comments from Altman follow a year in which OpenAI has received criticism for no longer open-sourcing its AI models.
"There is no single open source AI definition, and defining it is a challenge because previous open source definitions do not encompass the complexities of today's rapidly advancing AI models," the spokesperson said.
