To work this out, CLIP learns to link a wide variety of objects with their names and the words that describe them. 3) Codex, an AI system that translates natural language to code. Codex is proficient in over a dozen programming languages.4) WebGPT, a fine-tuned version of GPT-3 that can answer open-ended questions using a text-based web browser.5) Triton 1.0, an open-source Python-like programming language which enables researchers with no CUDA experience to write highly efficient GPU code.Learning from real-world use and applying those lessons is a critical part of developing beneficial AI, and OpenAI's Application Programming Interface (API) gives developers the ability to build GPT-3 and Codexs capabilities into their apps. The API allows us to review applications before they go live and monitor for misuse based on our policies. Thanks to the progress we made on safeguards in the year since making our API available, we removed the waitlist for GPT-3. Improvements to our API include specialized endpoints for more truthful question-answering, and a free content filter to help developers mitigate abuse. All these advances in AI technology are moving OpenAI towards achieving its mission, which is the development of Artificial General Intelligence that benefits humanity. OpenAI also launched the OpenAI Residency program, which provides researchers and engineers who dont currently focus on artificial intelligence a pathway to a full-time role at OpenAI. The program is an iteration of our former Scholars and Fellows program and we make a special effort to hear from underrepresented groups in technology. 397000 true false false false false false false false false false true false false true false true false true false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true 16 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 4 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false true true true true false CA DE X Chris Clark 4158799686 3180 18th St Suite 100 San Francisco CA 94110 Chris Clark Sec/Tres 10.00 30.00 X 50000 310600 12092 Ilya Sutskever Research Dir. 10.00 30.00 X X 0 278609 16338 David Lansky General Counsel 10.00 30.00 X 0 261662 12233 Reiichiro Nakano Technical Staff 30.00 10.00 196272 18375 15748 Elena Chatziathanasiadou Technical Staff 10.00 30.00 47292 90248 7426 Shivon Zilis Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 100000 0 Gregory Brockman Director/CTO 10.00 30.00 X X 0 57442 16338 Will Hurd Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 67433 0 Sam Altman Dir/Pres/CEO 10.00 30.00 X X 0 58333 8459 Reid Hoffman Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Holden Karnofsky Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adam D'Angelo Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tasha McCauley Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Helen Toner Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 293564 1242702 88634 1 false true false 0 3066 3066 0 8662 8662 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11728 8662 75000 75000 0 0 0 52499 52499 0 217949 217949 0 23454 23454 33712 33712 0 78748 78748 96893 96893 0 0 0 25000 25000 0 1237 1237 19516 19516 0 399310 399310 1961 1961 0 0 0 0 24305 24305 40239 40239 Scholars 297000 297000 Payroll Administration 2427 2427 Other Expenses 301 301 Bank Fees 13 13 0 1389564 397000 992564 0 1009684 1009098 18890423 16168730 0 0 0 0 0 0 359907 504314 185952 81118 129139 104834 0 0 0 0 987414 2189387 21376567 19976363 113129 90761 113129 90761 X 21263438 19885602 21263438 19885602 21376567 19976363 -1377836 X false true X true false X 33228555 49917797 33580000 2661461 3066 119390879 0 0 33228555 49917797 33580000 2661461 3066 119390879 38082566 81308313 110 96633 8662 105405 0 50834 19688 70522 119566806 0.68000 0.69100 X 178180 77172 101008 2347 2347 5425 1599 3826 104834 Receivable from Affiliate 2189387 2189387 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote There is no provision for federal or state taxes on income since the Organization is a tax-exempt entity under Internal Revenue Codes 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code 23701(d).
