OpenAI has launched its latest AI model, GPT-4.1, which boasts enhanced performance, particularly in coding benchmarks, and a larger context window. Surprisingly, this release did not include a safety report, a standard practice for OpenAI’s advanced models, sparking controversy and raising questions about transparency. OpenAI justified this omission by stating that GPT-4.1 is not considered a “frontier model,” though this explanation has not quelled concerns within the AI community regarding safety and ethical considerations.
