“Builders have been such a serious a part of what’s been occurring for the final yr and a half,” he notes. “There are tens of millions of people that have been on the platform. What individuals do is totally superb. The pace of adoption and the expertise and determining what to construct on high of all of that, which actually wasn’t very lengthy… once we launched GPT-3 to the API, some individuals thought it was cool, however it did not make zero revenue. And seeing what individuals have performed with GPT-4, and what’s taking place now with GPT-4o…it is fairly superb.”
