With the opening of its first office in Tokyo, Japan,\u00a0OpenAI<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>has declared its entrance into the Asian market.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The business is introducing a GPT-4 that has been specially tuned for Japanese. In the upcoming months, the business also intends to share the customised model more widely via the API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, confirmed the development in a media release on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the release of its ChatGPT generative AI chatbot in late 2022, the Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence startup has excited customers. Now, it is trying to expand its revenue streams internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reuters, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and COO Brad Lightcap held meetings with leaders from several Fortune 500 companies <\/a>in the US and UK to expand their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its strategic expansion, OpenAI established bases in Dublin and London in addition to this outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After speaking with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida last year, Altman suggested that he would open an office in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Japan’s interest in using AI technology is timely as the country looks to accelerate its digital transformation, handle its growing labour shortages, and fortify its competitive edge against the backdrop of geopolitical concerns with China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is just the first step in what I hope will be a long-term partnership with the people of Japan, government leaders, businesses and research institutions,” Sam Altman said in a video message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tadao Nagasaki\u00a0has been named as the new branch’s president, according to Sam Altman’s announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nagasaki was employed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) Japan and was successful in luring in 2.26 trillion Japanese yen (about $14.6 trillion) for the nation’s cloud infrastructure earlier in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We earlier reported that OpenAI added new features to its artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) model GPT-4 Turbo, primarily in the domains of writing, logic, and mathematics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the company\u2019s statement made on its official account, only paid subscribers of ChatGPT Plus, Team, Enterprise, and the API are currently receiving the updated version of GPT-4 Turbo.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
