When we started using OpenAI, we transitioned from 14% to over 85% month-over-month usage of large language model tools, with 94% of people reporting increased AI fluency.

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

The period of AI development has been long, starting around 2012-2013, but gained visibility in the last three to four years.

In 2016, OpenAI was seen as a long shot compared to Google in 1999, with many doubting its chances of success.

Investing in OpenAI in 2018 felt simple because I had a strong belief in AI, despite the investment being unconventional and lacking a clear business plan.

We were one of the launch partners of OpenAI when they first launched ChatGPT-4, and we immediately recognized its potential to help our mission.

The early days of AI development were marked by skepticism about the viability of language models, but persistence in technology has proven their value.

The consensus two years ago was that the launch of ChatGPT would benefit OpenAI exclusively, but many successful AI applications have emerged from startups instead.

The competitive landscape for AI is rapidly evolving, similar to the early days of cloud computing, with new companies emerging to address specific needs, such as cybersecurity for large language models.
