OpenAI intends to provide significant improvements for developers next month to make it easier and quicker to create software applications based on its artificial intelligence models, according to Reuters.
The changes include the developer tools’ ability to use memory storage for AI models.
This presumably addresses a big problem for partners whose expenses of employing OpenAI’s advanced models might soon pile up as they try to build long-term businesses by creating and selling AI software. It could theoretically reduce costs for application makers by as much as 20 times.
The company also intends to introduce new tools, such as vision capabilities, that will allow programmers to create programs that can analyse images and explain them, with potential uses in anything from entertainment to medicine.
The addition of these capabilities demonstrates the company’s desire, as envisioned by Chief Executive Sam Altman, to become more than just a consumer sensation by offering a popular developer platform.
OpenAI will hold its first-ever developer conference in San Francisco on November 6, where the new features are anticipated to be unveiled.
These updates are made in an effort to persuade additional programmers to pay to use OpenAI’s model in order to create their own AI applications for various purposes, such as writing assistance or chatbots for customer support.
Altman has recognised in the open that there is still work to be done. Altman acknowledged earlier this year to a gathering of developers in London that plugins had not taken off in the market.
