OpenAI was founded in 2015 by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, and others with the aim of developing safe artificial general intelligence (AGI). Originally established as a non-profit, OpenAI transitioned to a 'capped-profit' structure in 2019. OpenAI's best-known products include the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) series of language models, the DALL-E image generation model, the Whisper speech recognition model, and the ChatGPT conversational interface. GPT-4 and later models demonstrate human-level performance in text generation, code writing, analysis, and multimodal (visual + text) tasks. The OpenAI API enables developers to integrate these powerful models into their applications. Features include Chat Completions, Embeddings, Fine-tuning, Assistants API, Vision, and Function Calling. Token management is handled with tiktoken. OpenAI has formed a strategic partnership with Microsoft, with enterprise access provided through Azure OpenAI Service. ChatGPT has reached over 100 million users worldwide. It is considered one of the pioneering companies of the AI revolution.
