About OpenAI

About OpenAI encompasses the artificial intelligence research organization founded in 2015 that develops advanced AI systems including GPT language models, DALL-E image generators, and ChatGPT conversational interfaces. Originally established as a non-profit research lab, OpenAI transitioned to a capped-profit model in 2019 to secure funding for large-scale AI development while maintaining its mission of ensuring artificial general intelligence benefits humanity. The organization focuses on developing safe, beneficial AI through research in language modeling, reinforcement learning, robotics, and AI safety. Key contributions include transformer-based language models, reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) methodologies, and API services that democratize access to advanced AI capabilities. OpenAI emphasizes responsible AI development through safety research, alignment studies, and gradual deployment strategies. For AI agents, OpenAI provides foundational models, API infrastructure, and safety frameworks that enable the development of sophisticated conversational and reasoning systems.
