On October 6 OpenAI held its annual conference dedicated to developers. An event during which the Chatgpt creator launched a new function (an SDK in this case) that allows his conversational robot to interact with existing applications such as Spotify or Booking.com.
One way that the company puts its chatbot even more in the center of our digital life. But that is not the only announcement he made during his conference. Here are everyone to remember.
More than 800 million weekly users
Openai took advantage of his event to announce the new milestone achieved by Chatgpt. “More than 800 million people use chatgpt every week (…) Thanks to all of you, AI has gone from being a simple entertainment to a tool that people use every day to create,” said Sam Altman. The Openai chief also referred to the four million developers who have created applications with his company.
Since last March, Chatgpt has won more than 300 million weekly users, who send billions of applications every day. And Openai, whose user base has continued to grow since the launch of its chatbot, does not intend to stay there, planning new functions in the coming months.
Chatgpt, a future operating system
Since its inception, Chatgpt has evolved a lot. He no longer answers questions with just words, but can also generate images, perform in -depth searches and even perform tasks on the user’s web. But the famous chatbot is called to be much more, as its director, Nick Turley, revealed during a question and answers session with journalists after the conference.
You can “access the software, both you already use, and especially the new software developed specifically for Chatgpt,” he added. The connection between conversational robot and other applications is just an advance of your future.
There are no chatgpt ads for the moment
Could ads appear in the conversations we have with Chatgpt? This is a question that some ask themselves, since the company struggles to be profitable given the money you spend in developing its technologies. The company itself has already deepened the subject and reached back this point during the Question and Answers session, indicating that it prefers to sin cautious.
The OpenAi chief also considers it important to offer useful ads to users. “There are many bad ads on the Internet that are terrible. If we can find interesting things that really seem useful for users, which I imagine is possible with one of these AIs they are looking for, they look for, they look for, they seek [pour vous, comme Pulse]So maybe there is something to do in this area, ”he said.
Openai could thus integrate ads into one of its latest products, click. It is an assistant who, in Chatgpt, works in the shadow to anticipate the needs of the user and thus offer personalized searches on a day -to -day basis.
Between 15 and 20 ideas for the first OpenAI devices
Finally, the Openai conference was an opportunity for its boss to talk about its device project promoted by AI who is developing with Jony Ive, the former Apple chief designer. In fact, he ended with a discussion between the two men, during which they obviously did not give much information.
However, Jony Ive confesses that he has between 15 and 20 ideas for this family of devices, which will not look at the iPhone, according to Business Insider. An affirmation that does not surprise taking into account its project, with Sam Altman, to remove the users of the screens. He expects these devices to solve some of the problems created by smartphones and tablets during the last twenty years, while still fun.
So far little information is known about the first product developed by Openai and Jony Ive. Presented internally as an AI partner, he would be able to analyze the environment and life of the user. The two partners hope to market it at the end of next year, but we still don’t know what it will be like. However, this launch could be postponed due to difficulties, especially techniques, according to the Financial Times. According to a source from the British newspaper, OpenAi is “struggling to obtain enough computer power for Chatgpt”, and it would still be more difficult for an AI device.
