OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research company founded in 2015 that develops advanced AI systems and large language models, most notably the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) series and ChatGPT. Originally established as a non-profit organization with the mission to ensure artificial general intelligence benefits humanity, OpenAI transitioned to a capped-profit model in 2019 to attract necessary funding for compute-intensive research. The company has released groundbreaking models including GPT-3, GPT-4, DALL-E for image generation, and Whisper for speech recognition. OpenAI provides API access to their models, enabling developers and enterprises to integrate sophisticated AI capabilities into applications for tasks like content generation, code completion, language translation, and conversational AI. Their research focuses on scaling neural networks, alignment problems, and safety considerations in AI development. OpenAI’s work has significantly influenced the commercial AI landscape and sparked widespread adoption of large language models across industries.
