OpenAI
The US research company behind the GPT models and ChatGPT.
OpenAI is a US artificial-intelligence company, founded in 2015, best known for the GPT family of language models and the ChatGPT product. It operates as a capped-profit business and is one of the most influential players in the field, both for its models and for the debates it sparks around safety, cost and access.
For CourionAI readers, OpenAI is the fastest lens on where the industry is heading: when it ships something, the rest of the field usually responds within weeks.
