On the latest episode of ’s Equity podcast , Kirsten Korosec, Sean O’Kane, and I did our best to round up all the latest OpenAI news. While the company’s latest acquisitions seem to be classic acqui-hires, Sean suggested they also address “two big existential problems that OpenAI is trying to solve right now.

Teknolojik Detaylar

” First, with the team behind personal finance startup Hiro, the company may be hoping to come up with a product that has “more hooks than just a chatbot, and maybe something worth paying more for. ” And with new media startup TBPN, OpenAI could be looking to “better shape its image in the public eye, which lately has not been great. ” Read a preview of our conversation, edited for length and clarity below.

Anthony: two deals that are worth mentioning, one is that OpenAI acquired this personal finance startup called Hiro . And that comes after another deal that was literally announced when we were recording our last episode of Equity, so we didn’t get to talk about it: OpenAI had also acquired TBPN — a business talk show, like a new media company. And I think both of these deals are pretty small compared to the scale of OpenAI.

These are not things that people expect to really change the course of their business or anything like that, but they’re interesting because it suggests that there’s still this “Let’s try out different things. ” Especially the TBPN deal particularly at this time when it feels like OpenAI, from all the reporting we’re reading, is also trying to really refocus on making ChatGPT and its GPT models really competitive in an enterprise context with programmers.
