OpenAI ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI. Since its launch in November 2022, it has become a defining product in the field of large language models (LLMs). The product was conceived, developed, and is primarily hosted in the United States using advanced computing hardware, though its data processing and infrastructure utilize global cloud networks.

Initially founded as a non-profit organization in 2015, OpenAI transitioned to a "capped-profit" structure to secure the massive capital required for AI development. While the brand is synonymous with its original creators, it currently operates with significant strategic investment from Microsoft, which holds a substantial minority stake and serves as the exclusive cloud provider. Despite this partnership, the brand remains under the governance of the OpenAI non-profit board and the management of OpenAI Global, LLC.
