Today’s Data Science news highlights OpenAI has unveiled its first open-weight AI models since launching ChatGPT, aiming to counter competition from Chinese startup DeepSeek. These models, named “gpt-oss,” match the performance of OpenAI’s smaller proprietary models and are intended for autonomous use in complex reasoning tasks. While not fully open-source, they are free for developers to use and customize. This move responds to growing demand for transparent AI tools and China’s lead in open-source AI.
