OpenAI

OpenAI has become a central driver of global AI adoption, evolving from a research lab into one of the most widely used model and application providers. Historically, it played a defining role in advancing the modern AI landscape, from early reinforcement learning systems and robotics experiments to pioneering large-scale transformer models that helped establish the foundation model paradigm, while the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November 2022 was a watershed moment in mainstreaming AI adoption. Products like the GPT model family, GPT Image, and Sora, have achieved hundreds of millions of weekly users. Its expansion has been supported by large-scale funding and infrastructure commitments, including multi-billion-dollar investments, multiyear cloud agreements, and long-term compute buildouts with partners such as Microsoft, Oracle, NVIDIA, and AWS.
