The OpenAI drama and big plans for 2024
Since the launch, ChatGPT and OpenAI has been in the news. They have been developing cool stuff and innovating the ChatGPT ecosystem. They also recently launched custom GPT’s and I tried it, also created 2 custom GPT’s → one for Kubernetes CKA preparation and one for CFP review and I am getting good feedback for both. Do try them out if you have access to GPT4 and let me know so that I can fine tune it further.
November 17th, there was a news posted the Sam Altman(OpenAI CEO) was fired by boards decision, with the impact OpenAI has, this news spread like fire and it was all over social media. All of the employees of openAI wanted Sam and Greg Brockman back into the team. Satya Nadella, posted on Twitter that they have hired both Sam and Greg for their new advanced Research team and will be taking more OpenAI employees. This was like 20th Nov and things were changing at every moment. Story didn’t end here, OpenAI board reached out to Sam to come back as CEO!!! Yes this is where things got even more interesting and finally Sam and Greg came back to OpenAI and got their Board seats with refreshed board but those 5-6 days were really dramatic like a movie and now everyone is back on their mission again.
Anyways, it shows how much impact OpenAi has created globally. Moving on, I think what I expect form the team is to even create more advanced features, provide users to create apps and custom GPT’s and even provide a way to monetize them. So that ChatGPT can be a marketplace of apps that changes the world.
My personal take is that AI is fundamentally changing the way how we work in our day to day tasks, just like cloud became necessary for any one to learn, LLM, AI , inferencing and the basics are becoming essential skill to know off.
I personally have been learning bunch of ML stuff, LLM’s, inferencing, playing around open source models, huggingface, Langchain and LLM on WASM.
Past couple of weeks I have been creating this course that I am working one and hoping to launch just around the corner either next month or first week of January.
I will there at Kubeday talking on Cloud native sustainability with Nancy and really excited to meet everyone as this will be last conference for 2023 that I will be a part of.
