AI Progress Accelerated: OpenAI and Microsoft Partnership Extended 💥
OpenAI and Microsoft have announced an extension of their partnership, with a "multi-year, multi-billion" dollar investment from Microsoft, specifics are yet to be announced. This will allow OpenAI to continue its mission of ensuring advanced AI benefits all of humanity. Microsoft's Azure will continue to be the exclusive cloud provider for OpenAI's research, API and products.
In addition to the news of OpenAI and Microsoft's extended partnership, the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has also shared his thoughts on remote work and the talent density at OpenAI:
i know im not supposed to brag about openai, but the talent density at this scale (375 people) is 🤯 and i dont think has happened in the tech industry in recent memory

some remote, but mostly in person.
imo most tech companies who rushed to full remote permanently made a big mistake, and the cracks are starting to show. (works for some!)
hard work is even less fashionable than in-person work, but i still really believe in that too!
