We’re becoming a member of OpenAI – neptune.ai

Piotr Niedźwiedź, CEO/CTO and founding father of neptune.ai

I’m excited to share that we’ve entered right into a definitive settlement to be acquired by OpenAI, topic to closing circumstances. We’re thrilled to affix the OpenAI staff and assist their AI researchers construct higher fashions sooner.

We began in 2017, when the pivotal transformer paper got here out. And from then till right this moment, now we have targeted on serving to individuals who construct ML fashions in the course of the iterative, messy, and unpredictable section of mannequin coaching. 

I really like how Szymon Sidor, who has spent practically a decade at OpenAI, defined the essence of Neptune again to me, maybe capturing it higher than I ever may:

“OpenAI analysis converts compute into understanding. On the interface of compute and understanding are metrics. Neptune is a metrics dashboard firm.”

We’ve labored intently with OpenAI to create the metrics dashboard that helps groups constructing basis fashions. With this transaction, we’ll be capable of work much more intently collectively and innovate on instruments at an entire new stage. 

Our future with OpenAI

Neptune will be part of OpenAI and proceed to assist AI researchers with instruments to observe, debug, and consider frontier fashions. Constructed on high of Neptune, in fact. I’m past excited to affix forces with a number of the high analysis and engineering minds on the trail in the direction of AGI. 

That is how Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI’s Chief Scientist, explains how Neptune will slot in at OpenAI: 

“Neptune has constructed a quick, exact system that permits researchers to research complicated coaching workflows. We plan to iterate with them to combine their instruments deep into our coaching stack to develop our visibility into how fashions study.”

We’ll wind down our exterior companies within the subsequent few months, and are dedicated to working intently with our prospects and customers to make this transition as clean as doable.

What’s subsequent

I’m actually grateful to our prospects, traders, co-founders, and colleagues who’ve made this journey doable. It was the journey of a lifetime already, but nonetheless I imagine that is solely the start. We’re wanting ahead to working with high AI researchers and supporting OpenAI’s mission of making certain that AGI advantages all of humanity.
