What was once a humble research lab has transformed into one of the biggest consumer technology companies of all time.OpenAI, founded in 2015 to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) AI systems with human-level intelligence has transformed dramatically since launching ChatGPT, which was once considered to be the fastest-growing consumer application in history. Most cofounders have left either to create a competitor or work for one. The company has secured billions in funding and partnerships with Apple and Microsoft, even announcing a $500 billion datacenter project called Stargate. Meanwhile, it faces copyright lawsuits from authors and news organizations, legal action from cofounder Elon Musk over the companys alleged departure from its original mission, and criticism for burning through cash despite projected billions in revenue. After Altmans brief ouster, OpenAI is now expected to restructure from a nonprofit-led organization to a full for-profit company to stabilize operations and reassure investors.As San Franciscos hottest AI company continues to barrel towards ever growing valuations, its claims become more nebulous. Altman expects we may see the first AI agents join the workforce and materially change the output of companies in 2025, and says his team is now confident we know how to build AGIas we have traditionally understood it. A decade since it was founded, OpenAI has become synonymous with the future of AI, with the tech industry and beyond closely monitoring its next moves.All of the news and updates about OpenAI continue below.OpenAI just raised another $40 billion round led by SoftBankChatGPTs Ghibli filter is political now, but it always wasOpenAI says our GPUs are melting as it limits ChatGPT image generation requestsChatGPT is turning everything into Studio Ghibli art and it got weird fastChatGPTs new image generator is delayed for free usersOpenAI rolls out image generation powered by GPT-4o to ChatGPTOpenAI reshuffles leadership as Sam Altman pivots to technical focusChatGPT accused of saying an innocent man murdered his childrenWhat does OpenAI really want from Trump?The questions ChatGPT shouldnt answerOpenAI announces GPT-4.5, warns its not a frontier AI modelChatGPT is a terrible, fascinating, and thrilling to-do list appMira Murati is launching her OpenAI rival: Thinking Machines LabOpenAI is rethinking how AI models handle controversial topicsOpenAI lays out plans for GPT-5What $200 of ChatGPT is really worthInside OpenAIs $14 million Super Bowl debutI tested ChatGPTs deep research with the most misunderstood law on the internetChatGPT drops its sign-in requirement for searchHeres OpenAIs new logoSoftBanks Masayoshi Son says AGI will arrive much earlier than he thoughtChatGPTs agent can now do deep research for youOpenAI launches new o3-mini reasoning model with a free ChatGPT versionSam Altmans Stargate is science fictionDeepSeek, Stargate, and the new AI arms raceOpenAI and SoftBank are starting a $500 billion AI data center companyLas Vegas police release ChatGPT logs from the suspect in the Cybertruck explosionOpenAIs Sam Altman says we know how to build AGIYou can now call 1-800-CHATGPTChatGPTs AI search engine is rolling out to everyoneSoras AI video revolution is still a ways offInside the launch and future of ChatGPTiOS 18.2 is rolling out now, adding ChatGPT integration and more Apple Intelligence toolsOpenAI has finally released SoraMicrosofts AI boss and Sam Altman disagree on what it takes to get to AGISam Altman lowers the bar for AGIOpenAIs 12 days of shipmas include Sora and new reasoning modelChatGPTs search results for news are unpredictable and frequently inaccurateSiris big ChatGPT upgrade is here for better and worseOpenAI plans to release its next big AI model by DecemberOpenAI was a research lab now its just another tech companyOpenAIs for-profit switch could include equity for Sam AltmanOpenAI says Iran tried to influence US elections with ChatGPTElon Musk is suing OpenAI and Sam Altman againOpenAI is making ChatGPT cheaper for schools and nonprofitsFormer OpenAI board member explains why they fired Sam AltmanOpenAI has a new safety team its run by Sam AltmanChatGPT has a Scarlett Johansson problemChatGPT will be able to talk to you like Scarlett Johansson in HerOpenAI releases GPT-4o, a faster model thats free for all ChatGPT usersSam Altman rejoins OpenAIs board after investigation into sudden firingOpenAI introduces Sora, its text-to-video AI modelOpenAI says theres only a small chance ChatGPT will help create bioweaponsOpenAI CEO Sam Altman is still chasing billions to build AI chipsChatGPT is winning the future but what future is that?Sam Altman on being fired and rehired by OpenAIMicrosoft joins OpenAIs board with Sam Altman officially back as CEOSam Altman to return as CEO of OpenAIWhat happened to Sam Altman?Sam Altman fired as CEO of OpenAIJony Ive is reportedly developing an AI gadget with OpenAIs Sam AltmanSam Altman sells superintelligent sunshine as protestors call for AGI pauseAs conservatives criticize woke AI, here are ChatGPTs rules for answering culture war queriesOpenAI announces ChatGPT Plus at $20 a monthChatGPT provesAIis finally mainstream and things are only going to get weirderOpenAIs new chatbot can explain code and write sitcom scripts but is still easily tricked
