OpenAI has updated the Model Spec document, which serves as a guide to control the thinking and behavior of AI models. This initial draft was released last May under the Creative Common CC0 license, allowing developers and researchers to freely use or modify it.
The update has added several details, with OpenAI stating that it still adheres to three main principles: customizability, transparency, and promoting intellectual freedom in exploration, disagreement, and creativity while mitigating potential risks.
This revised version of Model Spec explains the scope of work by reducing rigid answers but striving to provide maximum guidance for further exploration. The tone of the conversation will start with simple understanding, attempting not to limit conversation topics except for those that pose a dangerous privacy risk.
OpenAI has mentioned that there will be ongoing evaluations to ensure that this Model Spec framework continues to function effectively as intended or if adjustments are needed to keep it current.
TLDR: OpenAI has updated the Model Spec document to provide guidance on controlling AI behavior, emphasizing customizability, transparency, and intellectual freedom while minimizing risks, with ongoing evaluations to ensure effectiveness.
