infoAbout this program

OpenAI's programme for people who want to build in AI but have not settled on an idea yet. Around fifteen participants per cohort spend five weeks at OpenAI's San Francisco office with in-person workshops, weekly office hours, mentoring from OpenAI technical leaders and early access to new models. OpenAI positions it as the start of a long-term network rather than an accelerator, and takes no equity.
