Last Week in AI

OpenAI has been at the center of some of the biggest advancements in artificial inteligence(AI) in recent years. Created by industry luminaries such as Elon Musk and Sam Altman, OpenAI started as a non-profit organization with a focus of advancing AI research. After Altman took over as CEO last year, OpenAI transitioned to a capped profit structure and attracted $1 billion investment from Microsoft. The next step in the evolution of OpenAI seems to be to build up its commercial muscle and that's what they seem to be doing. Earlier this week, OpenAI unveiled an API product that exposes endpoints for some of its most sucessful language models including the controversial GPT-3.
