[隐私政策] Why does OpenAI allow API use instead of open-sourcing its models?

OpenAI chose to release its models through an API rather than open-sourcing them for two main reasons:

First, commercializing the technology helps raise funds for ongoing artificial intelligence research, safety, and policy work, which are for the mission of developing general artificial intelligence that benefits all of humanity.

Second, releasing models through an API also allows for monitoring and responding to misuse of the technology. It is carefully evaluating the real-world usage and behavior of these models and working to establish the best safeguards to identify and reduce problems.
