DALL·E 2 research preview update

Early users have created over 3 million images to date and helped us improve our safety processes. We’re excited to begin adding up to 1,000 new users from our waitlist each week. 

OpenAI leadership team update

We’re happy to announce several executive role changes that reflect our recent progress and will ensure continued momentum toward our next major milestones.

Measuring Goodhart’s law

Goodhart’s law famously says: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” Although originally from economics, it’s something we have to grapple with at OpenAI when figuring out how to optimize objectives that are difficult or costly to measure.

Economic impacts research at OpenAI

Call for expressions of interest to study the economic impacts of large language models.

Lessons learned on language model safety and misuse

We describe our latest thinking in the hope of helping other AI developers address safety and misuse of deployed models.

Solving (some) formal math olympiad problems

We built a neural theorem prover for Lean that learned to solve a variety of challenging high-school olympiad problems, including problems from the AMC12 and AIME competitions, as well as two problems adapted from the IMO.

Aligning language models to follow instructions

We’ve trained language models that are much better at following user intentions than GPT-3 while also making them more truthful and less toxic, using techniques developed through our alignment research. These InstructGPT models, which are trained with humans in the loop, are now deployed as the defa...

Introducing text and code embeddings

We are introducing embeddings, a new endpoint in the OpenAI API that makes it easy to perform natural language and code tasks like semantic search, clustering, topic modeling, and classification.

Text and code embeddings by contrastive pre-training

OpenAI Residency

As part of our effort to support and develop AI talent, we’re excited to announce the OpenAI Residency.

OpenAI’s API now available with no waitlist

Wider availability made possible by safety progress.

Solving math word problems

We’ve trained a system that solves grade school math problems with nearly twice the accuracy of a fine-tuned GPT-3 model. It solves about 90% as many problems as real kids: a small sample of 9-12 year olds scored 60% on a test from our dataset, while our system scored 55% on those same problems.

Summarizing books with human feedback

Scaling human oversight of AI systems for tasks that are difficult to evaluate.

Helen Toner joins OpenAI’s board of directors

Today, we’re excited to announce the appointment of Helen Toner to our board of directors.

OpenAI Codex

We’ve created an improved version of OpenAI Codex, our AI system that translates natural language to code, and we are releasing it through our API in private beta starting today.

Evaluating large language models trained on code

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...
