---
### ❓ Why should OpenAI release GPT‑3 or GPT‑4?
These models are **no longer used in OpenAI’s primary commercial systems**. Open-sourcing them would:
- Support global education and research
- Improve transparency and reproducibility
- Enable low-resource developers to build offline and secure AI applications
---
### ❓ Isn’t this dangerous? What about disinformation?
Other major models (LLaMA, Mistral, GPT-J) are already open. Safety is a matter of **context and governance**, not secrecy. Openness allows third-party alignment work to flourish.
---
### ❓ How would OpenAI protect itself legally?
The **RMLA (Retired Model License Agreement)**:
- Disclaims liability
- Disallows misuse of OpenAI branding
- Makes usage and risk solely the responsibility of the end user
---
### ❓ Would this hurt OpenAI’s business?
No. GPT‑4 is already being replaced by GPT‑5. These legacy models are outperformed and no longer central to OpenAI’s revenue stream.
---
### ❓ What about hardware damage or hallucinations?
The RMLA waives OpenAI’s responsibility for:
- Hardware wear due to intense workloads
- Misinformation or hallucinated content
- Any real-world harm caused by derivative uses
