The AI research company behind ChatGPT, GPT-4, DALL-E, and the APIs that power thousands of AI products.

What is OpenAI?

OpenAI is the AI research company that built ChatGPT, GPT-4, DALL-E, and Whisper.

Started in 2015 as a nonprofit, it shifted to a capped-profit model in 2019 and became the fastest-growing consumer app in history when ChatGPT launched in November 2022.

Most builders interact with OpenAI through their API, which lets you integrate GPT models, image generation, speech recognition, and embeddings into your own products. ChatGPT hit 100 million users in two months. The API powers everything from customer service bots to code assistants to content generators.

API pricing is pay-as-you-go based on tokens processed. ChatGPT has a free tier, Plus at $20/month, and Team/Enterprise plans. The API documentation is comprehensive and the developer community is massive.
