A SHORT HISTORY OF OPENAI

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Sam Altman was removed as CEO of OpenAI on Friday, with exact reasons unknown. OpenAI, founded in 2015 as a non-profit by Altman and others, made significant strides in AI research, particularly in deep learning and reinforcement learning. In 2019, OpenAI transitioned to a capped-profit model to combine the aspects of for-profit and non-profit entities, leading to a complex corporate structure. The recent years saw the release of influential AI models like GPT-3 and DALL-E and the successful launch of ChatGPT.
