OpenAI CEO Shares Stats on Company’s Performance
Sam Altman, the CEO of Artificial Intelligence (AI) company OpenAI, recently shared statistics on the performance of the firm’s tools. According to Altman, OpenAI generates around 100 billion words in a single day, while the entire human race generates about 100 trillion words per day. This means that OpenAI’s volume of words is only about 0.1% compared to that of people.
In response to Altman’s post, one crypto user suggested that the company should hire more people to generate a larger volume of words. However, Altman clarified that what OpenAI needs are more graphics processing units (GPUs), rather than more people, to generate the total words.
OpenAI’s Focus on AI Chips
Altman has been shifting his focus towards AI chips, which are a key component of GPUs. He believes that this technology is crucial for running AI systems like ChatGPT. Altman’s plan for AI chips involves building multiple chip foundries to increase global chip-building capacity, potentially involving companies like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
He also believes that the AI landscape requires more infrastructure, such as fabrication capacity, energy resources, and data centers, to meet global demands. Altman is now seeking trillions of dollars in funding to make his AI chip dream a reality.
Growing Interest in AI Chip Ventures
OpenAI is not the only AI-centered firm exploring this new venture. Nvidia, a dominant GPU manufacturer, has made significant progress with its AI chip ecosystem and has military entities, state-owned AI research centers, and universities actively purchasing its semiconductors.
In addition, Microsoft has plans to introduce its own AI chip called Athena. These developments indicate the industry’s growing interest and investment in AI chips.
OpenAI’s Remarkable Growth
In addition to the focus on AI chips, OpenAI has experienced significant growth. On an annualized basis, the company’s revenue has exceeded $2 billion, largely due to the success of its flagship AI product, ChatGPT. This makes OpenAI one of the fastest-growing technology companies in history.
