OpenAI was initially focused on developing superintelligence safely, but over time, safety became less of a priority as they shifted towards becoming a for-profit company.

The creation of OpenAI was driven by the desire to ensure AI development was open and beneficial to the broader startup ecosystem.

Our goal at OpenAI is to make artificial general intelligence (AGI) and distribute it safely for the broad benefit of humanity.

As companies scale their AI applications, it's crucial to find the optimal balance across quality, cost, and speed to achieve sustainable growth.

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.

To avoid being steamrolled by OpenAI, companies should ask themselves if they are excited about a 100x improvement in AI models. Those that are should have a clear path to how better intelligence will enhance their products.

OpenAI's decision to pursue iterative deployment of AI, rather than developing AGI in secret, was a pivotal choice that reflects our commitment to transparency and responsible innovation.

The development of AI is unlikely to be slowed down due to intense competition, so we should focus on ensuring its safety as it progresses.

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