OpenAI is an American artificial intelligence research organization based in San Francisco, focused on developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) that is both safe and beneficial. Founded with the mission to ensure that AGI benefits all of humanity, the company has become a central player in the global AI landscape.
The organization is notable for pioneering several influential generative AI models. These include the GPT series of large language models, the DALL-E image generation tools, and the Sora video model. Its release of ChatGPT in late 2022 is widely recognized for triggering a surge of mainstream and commercial interest in generative artificial intelligence worldwide.
Recently, OpenAI has been in the news due to a combination of operational and business developments. The company was affected by a significant, widespread internet outage that also impacted other major online platforms and services. Concurrently, it announced a major new enterprise partnership, signing a multi-million dollar deal to provide its AI services. These events have sparked broader discussion in the media about the company's market position and resilience.
