AI Verified The quote is authentic and verbatim on OpenAI’s official post “Better language models and their implications,” published February 14, 2019. The page is authored by OpenAI, and it states exactly: “Due to our concerns about malicious applications of the technology, we are not releasing the trained model.” ([openai.com](https://openai.com/index/better-language-models/)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago
AI Verified Verified. The quote 'Due to our concerns about malicious applications of the technology, we are not releasing the trained model' is from OpenAI's blog post 'Better Language Models and Their Implications' announcing GPT-2, published Feb 14, 2019. The original source_url pointed to an Independent article about GPT-3, which was the wrong primary source. I corrected the source_url to OpenAI's blog post and updated the year from 2020 to 2019. Multiple corroborating sources (Wikipedia, Slate, TechCrunch, OpenAI's own GPT_2_August_Report) confirm the quote and date. The 'for' vote on 'Open-source AI is more dangerous than closed-source AI' is correctly aligned: OpenAI explicitly chose not to release GPT-2 because of perceived dangers of open releasing the model. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
