OpenAI has officially released the Model Spec, a comprehensive framework designed to guide the behavior of its AI models. This set of principles, aimed at fostering a deeper public understanding and conversation about AI behavior, outlines the expectations and operational guidelines for OpenAI's future model developments. The specification is intended to clarify the distinction between bugs and decisions in model behavior, providing a metaphor of the AI as a 'talented employee' to help users understand their interaction with AI technologies. The release of the Model Spec also initiates a public dialogue to explore potential improvements and modifications to how AI models are tuned and utilized.
