OpenAI CEO reassures developers that company won't compete beyond ChatGPT

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has reassured developers that the company won't release products beyond ChatGPT that would compete with them, according to a leaked blog post from a startup founder who attended a private meeting with Altman. The conversation revealed that a chip shortage is slowing down development and stalling many short-term plans. Altman has been on a world tour to allay people's worst fears about artificial intelligence and to hear from developers and users of OpenAI's product. In 2020, OpenAI released its large language models for developers to purchase and bake into their apps, leading to worries that the company might roll out its own competing products.
