OpenAI launches “Academy” program: providing developers with $1 million in API credits

There is another big move in the technology world! OpenAI announced the launch of OpenAI Academy, a program designed to invest in developers and organizations, use artificial intelligence (AI) to solve difficult problems and catalyze community economic growth.

The Academy’s goal is to ensure that the transformative potential of AI is accessible and beneficial to diverse communities around the world, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

The technology industry in many countries is growing rapidly, with talented developers and innovative organizations, but access to advanced training and technology resources remains limited. By investing in the development of local AI talent, economic growth and innovation can be promoted in industries such as health care, agriculture, education, and finance.

What will OpenAI Academy offer?

It starts with training and technical guidance, provided by OpenAI experts to support developers and organizations using AI.

Followed by API points, US$1 million in API points were issued to allow participants to build and deploy innovative applications.

Next is community building, cultivating a global developer network to promote collaboration, knowledge sharing and collective innovation. Finally, there are competitions and incubators that work with philanthropists to invest in organizations that solve frontline challenges in communities.

This program builds on OpenAI’s long history of supporting AI developers and organizations who have been working on the front lines. We will share more details about how to access Academy resources soon. OpenAI provides API credits and technical guidance to support the winning organizations and dozens of others working to solve global challenges.

To further support developers around the world, OpenAI also funded and released professional translations of the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark, a standard for measuring general AI intelligence, into 14 languages, including Arabic, Bengali, and Chinese. , French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili and Yoruba.

Supporting those who understand the unique cultural, economic and social dynamics of their communities will help ensure that AI applications meet local needs. Developers and organizations are key to making AI more widely accepted and enabling people around the world — no matter where they live or what language they speak — to use the technology to solve difficult problems.
