OpenAI's Greg Brockman said startups that connect large language models to real-world applications are still extremely valuable.

No one can know, but here’s how to think about it.

In a recent development, employees of AI firm OpenAI are reportedly mulling over the sale of nearly $6 billion worth of shares to investors, including SoftBank Group (OTC: SFTBY) and Thrive Capital.

OpenAI chief research scientist Jakub Pachocki said Paul Graham's "Hackers and Painters" inspired him when he was 15.

Quantifying the environmental impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT has been an elusive endeavor, and as The Guardian observed, OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman have been frustratingly opaque about the energy demands of its newest offering, GPT-5.

The return of GPT-4o comes after what Altman described as OpenAI underestimating "how much some of the things that people like in GPT-4o matter to them." In an attempt to simplify its offerings, OpenAI had initially removed all previous AI models from ChatGPT when GPT-5 launched on August 7,

GPT-5 is OpenAI’s latest, and now flagship, AI model. This new version is now the default system for a range of AI chatbots. OpenAI says GPT-5 is much more intelligent that the previous GPT-4 mode, with major improvements in complex front-end generation.

Aug 15 (Reuters) - Current and former employees of OpenAI are looking to sell nearly $6 billion worth of the ChatGPT maker's shares to investors including SoftBank Group (9984.T) and Thrive Capital, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.

On a call with reporters Wednesday previewing the new chatbot, Altman likened GPT-5 to a Ph.D.-level expert. The new chatbot is also "the biggest single step forward" that OpenAI has taken in worldwide accessibility, Altman said.

Jigar Bhati, a software engineer at OpenAI, said building up work experience and finding an opening that matches it is key to getting hired.
