I heard Elon Musk was involved in the beginning with OpenAI, but not anymore? Anyone know?
Glad to see OpenAI’s name finally getting recognition with ChatGPT’s success.
So OpenAI owns ChatGPT but it’s a non-profit originally, right? Or did that change?
Hope OpenAI keeps developing ChatGPT responsibly, they have a lot of power now.
Does anyone know if OpenAI plans to stay independent or get bought by a bigger company eventually?
I’m amazed how quickly ChatGPT blew up under OpenAI. Took AI to the next level!
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools, lots of cool stuff related to AI ownership and companies there.
Just to add, OpenAI's headquarters are in San Francisco if anyone's curious.
I kinda thought ChatGPT was owned by Google at first but nope, totally different company.
Any idea where OpenAI makes most of its money if it owns ChatGPT?
Pretty sure Microsoft has a big investment in OpenAI, but OpenAI owns ChatGPT itself.
Is OpenAI a public company or private? I can’t find any stock info.
Isn't OpenAI backed by some big names aside from Microsoft? Like some big venture capitalists?
I wonder how OpenAI’s ownership affects ChatGPT’s direction and updates?
People should keep an eye on OpenAI’s moves, this could shape the future of AI.
It's OpenAI, right? They've been working on GPT models for years now, so it makes sense they own ChatGPT.
So to sum up: OpenAI owns ChatGPT, Microsoft is a big investor, Elon Musk was an early founder but left, and now it's a capped-profit company.
