Deep dive by Sacra: go to report (06.02.2024)

OpenAI is a leading artificial intelligence research and deployment company that has rapidly become the most influential player in the AI industry. Founded in 2015 by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and others, OpenAI has made significant strides in developing advanced AI systems and models.

The company's strength lies in its ability to push the boundaries of AI capabilities while maintaining a focus on beneficial and ethical AI development. OpenAI's product lineup includes large language models like GPT-4, 4o, and o1, image generation models like DALL-E, and robotic systems. They've also developed platforms like the ChatGPT API, positioning themselves as a key provider of AI technologies for businesses and developers.

Today, OpenAI's business model is via subscriptions to its ChatGPT Plus product. Pricing is on the flat rate of $20/month. They make money via usage-based API products for GPT-3 and GPT-4, and enterprise customers for the DALL-E image model, Whisper audio model, fine-tuning and embedding.
