OpenAI
OpenAI is an AI research company that created ChatGPT, GPT-4, and DALL-E. Founded in 2015, it has been instrumental in advancing large language models and bringing generative AI to mainstream adoption.
Understanding OpenAI
OpenAI is a leading artificial intelligence research organization founded in 2015, responsible for developing some of the most influential AI systems including the GPT series of large language models, DALL-E image generators, and the ChatGPT conversational interface that brought generative AI into mainstream awareness. Originally established as a nonprofit, OpenAI transitioned to a capped-profit structure to attract the funding needed for compute-intensive research. The company pioneered the use of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to align language models with human preferences and has been a driving force behind advances in prompt engineering, scaling laws, and AI safety research. OpenAI's API platform enables millions of developers to integrate natural language processing, code generation, and image creation into their applications. The organization remains central to ongoing discussions about AI ethics, regulation, and the path toward artificial general intelligence.

Chain of Thought
Chain of thought is a prompting technique that encourages large language models to break down complex reasoning into intermediate steps. This approach significantly improves performance on math, logic, and multi-step reasoning tasks.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI that uses large language models to generate human-like conversational responses. It became one of the fastest-growing consumer applications in history after its launch in November 2022.
Claude
Claude is an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, designed to be helpful, harmless, and honest. It is built using Constitutional AI techniques and competes with models like GPT-4 and Gemini.
Diffusion Model
A diffusion model is a generative AI model that creates data by learning to reverse a gradual noise-adding process. Diffusion models power state-of-the-art image generation systems like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E.
Discriminator
A discriminator is the component of a GAN that learns to distinguish between real and generated data. It provides feedback to the generator, creating an adversarial training dynamic that improves output quality.
Few-Shot Prompting
Few-shot prompting provides a language model with a small number of input-output examples in the prompt to demonstrate the desired task format. This technique helps models understand task requirements without any fine-tuning.
Foundation Model
A foundation model is a large AI model trained on broad data that can be adapted to a wide range of downstream tasks. GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and DALL-E are examples of foundation models that serve as bases for specialized applications.
GAN
A GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) is a generative model consisting of two competing neural networks — a generator and a discriminator. GANs produce realistic synthetic data by training these networks in an adversarial game.
