OpenAI develops and deploys artificial intelligence technologies aimed at benefiting humanity. The company creates advanced AI models capable of performing various tasks, such as automating processes and enhancing creativity. OpenAI's products, like Sora, allow users to generate videos from text descriptions. What sets OpenAI apart from its competitors is its capped profit model, which limits the amount of profit the company can make, ensuring that excess profits are used to maximize the social benefits of AI. OpenAI's goal is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is developed safely and ethically, serving a diverse clientele that includes businesses, researchers, and developers.
