OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company working on artificial general intelligence (AGI) intended to benefit all of humanity. Its technical work spans large language models, machine learning, AI safety research and the deployment of AI products and APIs at scale. The company is headquartered in San Francisco and describes its effort as global in scope.

Its output includes ChatGPT, an AI chatbot serving millions of users; GPT models, the large language models developed and shipped by the company; and the OpenAI API, a platform for deploying AI tools at scale.

For technical leadership, the operating model is notable. Researchers, engineers and business professionals work side by side in cross-functional teams, which are described as operating with autonomy and ownership. Positions are available across research, engineering, product and operations. The company states that safety and human benefit guide its decisions, and that responsible development and rigorous safety practices sit alongside its technical ambitions.
