Elon Musk filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, alleging he deceitfully transformed OpenAI into a profit-driven company.

Key Details:
  • Muskā€™s lawsuit alleges that Altman breached OpenAIā€™s ā€œFounding Agreementā€ to develop Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that benefits humanity.

  • He claims Altman transformed OpenAI into a closed-source, maximum-profit company controlled by Microsoft.

  • Muskā€™s lawsuit highlights how Microsoft obtained an observer role on OpenAIā€™s Board of Directors by investing $13 billion into building the companyā€™s researcher and developer teams.

  • It also contains additional allegations that OpenAI engaged in organized criminal activity through ā€œnumerous acts of wire fraud.ā€

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • In 2024, Microsoftā€™s stock achieved a $3 trillion market cap by leveraging OpenAIā€™s GPT-4 to develop Microsoft offerings like Microsoft Copilot or Github Copilot.

  • Musk believes that contrary to the ā€œFounding Agreement,ā€ Altman has chosen to use OpenAIā€™s GPT-4 not for the benefit of humanity but as proprietary technology to maximize profits for the largest company in the world.

šŸ˜³OpenAIā€™s Co-Founder Leaves for Anthropic

Image Source: Canva AI Image Generator

Three of OpenAIā€™s executives are leaving the company, including Co-Founder John Schulman, President Greg Brockman, and Product Leader Peter Deng.

Key Details:
  • Co-Founder John Schulman posted on X: ā€œIā€™ve made the difficult decision to leave OpenAI. This choice stems from my desire to deepen my focus on AI alignment, where I can return to hands-on technical work. Iā€™ve decided to pursue this goal at Anthropic.ā€

  • Anthropic, an AI safety and research company that builds reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems, is OpenAIā€™s main rival.

  • President Greg Brockman is taking a sabbatical (i.e., a period of paid leave) for the rest of the year.

  • Product Leader Peter Dang, who joined OpenAI last year after leading products at Meta, Uber, and Airtable, is also leaving the company.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • Jan Leike, former co-leader of OpenAIā€™s Superalignment Team, also recently joined Anthropic to ensure AI models much smarter than humans follow human intent.

  • Leike posted on X: ā€œSafety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products.ā€

  • OpenAIā€™s desire to prioritize AI advancements over managing the security, safety, and social impact of ā€œsuperintelligentā€ AI models seems to impact executive sentiment around continuing work at the company.

AI RESEARCH

āš™ļøOpenAI Introduces Structured Outputs

At DevDay 2023, OpenAI introduced JSON Mode, a framework for organizing information so that computers can easily understand it.

However, JSON Mode doesnā€™t guarantee an AI modelā€™s outputs will conform to a specific JSON schema (i.e., structure).

This flaw forces developers to spend countless hours validating an AI modelā€™s outputs to ensure it matches their desired structure.

To solve this issue, OpenAI introduced Structure Outputs in the API to provide developers more control over an AI modelā€™s outputs.

Imagine ordering a custom cake by providing the bakery with a specific recipe: ā€œIt must be a three-layered chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and 15 strawberries.ā€

JSON Mode doesnā€™t guarantee that the custom cake will be baked precisely as ordered. It might have too many strawberries.

Structured Outputs in the API guarantee the custom cake is baked precisely as ordered.
