Operai is considering building a social network to compete with the X of Elon Musk and Goal Instagram, a source familiar with confirmed plans to CNBC.
The project is still in its early stages, said the person who asked not to be appointed due to confidentiality. It is based on the popularity of the new OpenI image generation function, which has led to an overload of the company’s servers.
The edge was the first to inform about the project. Operai declined to comment.
In March, OpenAI debuted its last general image tool, the inspiration for the potential social networks project, such as a way of producing everything from diagrams, infographics and logos to visiting cards and file photos. The feature can also use an image as a starting point for art, such as a personalized painting of a pet or editing a professional head.
The images of the anime -style representations of the users loaded by users become viral in X and other social networks applications, and the OpenI CEO, Sam Altman, changed his profile photo X to an image generated by the new function.
While it is “super fun to see People Love images” in chatgpt “, our GPU are melting,” Altman published in X at the end of last month, referring to the graphics processing units, which feed the training and workloads of AI. He added that the company would temporarily limit the use of the function, since it works to make it more efficient.
Operai faces a vivy competition in the generative generative market of rapid generative, even from Musk’s XAI, who said last month that X had acquired, also controlled by Musk. Altman and Musk are simultaneous involved in a heated legal battle, largely around Openi’s effort to transform into an entity for profit. Musk was one of Openi’s co -founders, which was launched in 2015 as a non -profit research laboratory.
Last month, a Federal District Court blocked Musk’s attempt to stop Openai’s transition to a profit company. In February, a group led by musizcle was sacrificed to buy control or openi for $ 97.4 billion, a sentence that was quickly rejected.
Last month, Openai closed what is equivalent to the largest registered private technology financing round, raising $ 40 billion at an assessment of $ 300 billion.
