Improving language model behavior by training on a curated dataset

Our latest research finds we can improve language model behavior with respect to specific behavioral values by fine-tuning on a small, curated dataset.

OpenAI Scholars 2021: Final projects

We’re proud to announce that the 2021 class of OpenAI Scholars has completed our six-month mentorship program and have produced an open-source research project with stipends and support from OpenAI.

Will Hurd joins OpenAI’s board of directors

OpenAI is committed to developing general-purpose artificial intelligence that benefits all humanity, and we believe that achieving our goal requires expertise in public policy as well as technology. So, we’re delighted to announce that Congressman Will Hurd has joined our board of directors.

GPT-3 powers the next generation of apps

Over 300 applications are delivering GPT-3–powered search, conversation, text completion, and other advanced AI features through our API.

Multimodal neurons in artificial neural networks

We’ve discovered neurons in CLIP that respond to the same concept whether presented literally, symbolically, or conceptually. This may explain CLIP’s accuracy in classifying surprising visual renditions of concepts, and is also an important step toward understanding the associations and biases that...

Understanding the capabilities, limitations, and societal impact of large language models

Scaling Kubernetes to 7,500 nodes

We’ve scaled Kubernetes clusters to 7,500 nodes, producing a scalable infrastructure for large models like GPT-3, CLIP, and DALL·E, but also for rapid small-scale iterative research such as Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models.

DALL·E: Creating images from text

We’ve trained a neural network called DALL·E that creates images from text captions for a wide range of concepts expressible in natural language.

CLIP: Connecting text and images

We’re introducing a neural network called CLIP which efficiently learns visual concepts from natural language supervision. CLIP can be applied to any visual classification benchmark by simply providing the names of the visual categories to be recognized, similar to the “zero-shot” capabilities of GP...

Organizational update from OpenAI

It’s been a year of dramatic change and growth at OpenAI.

OpenAI licenses GPT-3 technology to Microsoft

OpenAI has agreed to license GPT-3 to Microsoft for their own products and services.

Generative language modeling for automated theorem proving

Learning to summarize with human feedback

We’ve applied reinforcement learning from human feedback to train language models that are better at summarization.

OpenAI Scholars 2020: Final projects

Our third class of OpenAI Scholars presented their final projects at virtual Demo Day, showcasing their research results from over the past five months.

Procgen and MineRL Competitions

We’re excited to announce that OpenAI is co-organizing two NeurIPS 2020 competitions with AIcrowd, Carnegie Mellon University, and DeepMind, using Procgen Benchmark and MineRL.

Image GPT

We find that, just as a large transformer model trained on language can generate coherent text, the same exact model trained on pixel sequences can generate coherent image completions and samples. By establishing a correlation between sample quality and image classification accuracy, we show that ou...

OpenAI API

We’re releasing an API for accessing new AI models developed by OpenAI.

Language models are few-shot learners

AI and efficiency

We’re releasing an analysis showing that since 2012 the amount of compute needed to train a neural net to the same performance on ImageNet classification has been decreasing by a factor of 2 every 16 months. Compared to 2012, it now takes 44 times less compute to train a neural network to the level...

Jukebox

We’re introducing Jukebox, a neural net that generates music, including rudimentary singing, as raw audio in a variety of genres and artist styles. We’re releasing the model weights and code, along with a tool to explore the generated samples.

Improving verifiability in AI development

We’ve contributed to a multi-stakeholder report by 58 co-authors at 30 organizations, including the Centre for the Future of Intelligence, Mila, Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society, Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, and Center for Security and Emerging Technolog...

OpenAI Microscope

We’re introducing OpenAI Microscope, a collection of visualizations of every significant layer and neuron of eight vision “model organisms” which are often studied in interpretability. Microscope makes it easier to analyze the features that form inside these neural networks, and we hope it will help...

OpenAI standardizes on PyTorch

We are standardizing OpenAI’s deep learning framework on PyTorch.

Scaling laws for neural language models

Dota 2 with large scale deep reinforcement learning

Deep double descent

We show that the double descent phenomenon occurs in CNNs, ResNets, and transformers: performance first improves, then gets worse, and then improves again with increasing model size, data size, or training time. This effect is often avoided through careful regularization. While this behavior appears...

Procgen Benchmark

We’re releasing Procgen Benchmark, 16 simple-to-use procedurally-generated environments which provide a direct measure of how quickly a reinforcement learning agent learns generalizable skills.

Benchmarking safe exploration in deep reinforcement learning

Safety Gym

We’re releasing Safety Gym, a suite of environments and tools for measuring progress towards reinforcement learning agents that respect safety constraints while training.

GPT-2: 1.5B release

As the final model release of GPT-2’s staged release, we’re releasing the largest version (1.5B parameters) of GPT-2 along with code and model weights to facilitate detection of outputs of GPT-2 models. While there have been larger language models released since August, we’ve continued with our orig...
