OpenAI is an open artificial intelligence research and deployment company based in San Francisco, USA, with the mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Founded in 2015 by industry veterans including Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, and Elon Musk, the company has several prominent products and projects behind it.
Initially established as a non-profit organization, OpenAI transitioned to a for-profit model in 2019 due to financial pressures. At the same time, Microsoft made a significant investment and partnered with OpenAI to develop new Azure AI supercomputing technologies.
OpenAI's notable projects include OpenAI Gym, Universe, and more. Among them, the newly launched chatbot model, ChatGPT, attracted over one million users within just five days of its debut in 2022. Following this, OpenAI introduced the video large model Sora and GPT-4o, generating a significant response within the global content creation industry.
Continuously exploring and innovating, OpenAI integrates text, image, and audio processing capabilities, making interactions more natural and seamless. It has gradually evolved into a provider of large models and, backed by its powerful AI technology, has achieved a strong market valuation, marking a significant transformation in the field of AI.
