About OpenAI
OpenAI is the frontier AI lab behind ChatGPT, the GPT model family, DALL·E, and Sora. Structured as a capped-profit company under a nonprofit board, it ships both consumer products and the API developers use to build on GPT. Its work sets the commercial and safety tempo the rest of the industry reacts to.
Latest OpenAI news, product launches, model releases, and leadership commentary — from OpenAI directly, plus the people on The Twenty Five who help shape it: Greg Brockman and Kevin Weil.
