I initially aimed to start a robotics company, believing it would be the first successful business built on deep learning, but I ended up at OpenAI to learn from smart people and gain expertise in deep learning.

I'm a software engineer at OpenAI working on Codex, which solves real problems I encounter daily in my work.

The founding spirit of OpenAI is focused on solving the safety problem associated with AGI, emphasizing that the greatest minds cannot solve it in isolation; they need to engage with reality and see how technology plays out in practice.

I funded OpenAI with around 50 million dollars, intending it to be an open-source, non-profit organization to counter the closed-source, for-profit model of companies like Google.

At OpenAI, we pursued robotics not for commercial motives, but to demonstrate the power of machine learning, which later influenced large language models.

I was drawn to OpenAI because of its mission to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), which I believe is the most important technology we can build.

At Tesla, I became very interested in AI applications, particularly in autopilot technology, which led me to explore AI's potential in different domains.

The original concept of OpenAI was to operate as a subsidiary of Y Combinator called YC Research, focusing on AI in the public interest.

I'm Romain Huet, and I work on developer experience at OpenAI, focusing on making developers feel delighted and inspired by our tools.
