It aimed to standardize how environments are specified in AI research, making research study more easily reproducible [24] [144] while supplying users with a basic user interface for connecting with these environments. In 2022, new advancements of Gym have actually been transferred to the library Gymnasium. [145] [146]
Gym Retro

Released in 2018, Gym Retro is a platform for reinforcement learning (RL) research on video games [147] utilizing RL algorithms and study generalization. Prior RL research study focused mainly on optimizing agents to solve single jobs. Gym Retro gives the ability to generalize between games with similar ideas but various looks.

RoboSumo

Released in 2017, RoboSumo is a virtual world where humanoid metalearning robotic representatives at first do not have understanding of how to even walk, but are provided the goals of finding out to move and to push the opposing representative out of the ring. [148] Through this adversarial knowing procedure, the agents find out how to adapt to altering conditions. When a representative is then eliminated from this virtual environment and positioned in a new virtual environment with high winds, the agent braces to remain upright, suggesting it had actually found out how to balance in a generalized method. [148] [149] OpenAI's Igor Mordatch argued that competitors between representatives could develop an intelligence "arms race" that might increase a representative's ability to operate even outside the context of the competition. [148]
OpenAI 5

OpenAI Five is a group of five OpenAI-curated bots utilized in the competitive five-on-five video game Dota 2, that find out to play against human gamers at a high ability level totally through experimental algorithms. Before becoming a team of 5, the very first public presentation took place at The International 2017, the yearly premiere championship competition for the game, where Dendi, an expert Ukrainian player, lost against a bot in a live one-on-one matchup. [150] [151] After the match, CTO Greg Brockman explained that the bot had discovered by playing against itself for two weeks of real time, and that the learning software was an action in the instructions of producing software that can manage complicated jobs like a surgeon. [152] [153] The system utilizes a kind of reinforcement learning, as the bots learn gradually by playing against themselves numerous times a day for months, and are rewarded for actions such as killing an enemy and taking map goals. [154] [155] [156]
By June 2018, the capability of the bots broadened to play together as a complete team of 5, and they were able to beat groups of amateur and semi-professional players. [157] [154] [158] [159] At The International 2018, OpenAI Five played in two exhibition matches against expert players, but wound up losing both games. [160] [161] [162] In April 2019, OpenAI Five defeated OG, the ruling world champions of the game at the time, 2:0 in a live exhibition match in San Francisco. [163] [164] The bots' last public appearance came later on that month, where they played in 42,729 total video games in a four-day open online competition, winning 99.4% of those video games. [165]
OpenAI 5's mechanisms in Dota 2's bot gamer shows the difficulties of AI systems in multiplayer online fight arena (MOBA) video games and how OpenAI Five has actually shown using deep reinforcement knowing (DRL) agents to attain superhuman competence in Dota 2 matches. [166]
Dactyl

Developed in 2018, Dactyl uses maker finding out to train a Shadow Hand, a human-like robot hand, to manipulate physical items. [167] It discovers completely in simulation utilizing the exact same RL algorithms and setiathome.berkeley.edu training code as OpenAI Five. OpenAI took on the item orientation problem by utilizing domain randomization, a simulation technique which exposes the student to a variety of experiences rather than trying to fit to reality. The set-up for Dactyl, aside from having motion tracking cameras, also has RGB cams to permit the robot to control an approximate object by seeing it. In 2018, OpenAI revealed that the system had the ability to manipulate a cube and an octagonal prism. [168]
In 2019, OpenAI showed that Dactyl might fix a Rubik's Cube. The robotic had the ability to fix the puzzle 60% of the time. Objects like the Rubik's Cube introduce intricate physics that is harder to design. OpenAI did this by enhancing the toughness of Dactyl to perturbations by utilizing Automatic Domain Randomization (ADR), a simulation method of producing gradually harder environments. ADR varies from manual domain randomization by not requiring a human to define randomization varieties. [169]
API

In June 2020, OpenAI revealed a multi-purpose API which it said was "for accessing new AI models developed by OpenAI" to let developers get in touch with it for "any English language AI task". [170] [171]
Text generation

The business has actually promoted generative pretrained transformers (GPT). [172]
OpenAI's original GPT model ("GPT-1")

The initial paper on generative pre-training of a transformer-based language model was written by Alec Radford and his colleagues, and published in preprint on OpenAI's website on June 11, 2018. [173] It demonstrated how a generative design of language might obtain world understanding and procedure long-range dependencies by pre-training on a diverse corpus with long stretches of adjoining text.

GPT-2

Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 ("GPT-2") is a without supervision transformer language model and the follower to OpenAI's initial GPT design ("GPT-1"). GPT-2 was announced in February 2019, with just restricted demonstrative variations initially released to the public. The complete version of GPT-2 was not right away launched due to concern about potential misuse, including applications for writing phony news. [174] Some experts revealed uncertainty that GPT-2 posed a considerable risk.

In action to GPT-2, the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence responded with a tool to identify "neural fake news". [175] Other scientists, such as Jeremy Howard, warned of "the innovation to absolutely fill Twitter, email, and the web up with reasonable-sounding, context-appropriate prose, which would muffle all other speech and be impossible to filter". [176] In November 2019, OpenAI launched the complete variation of the GPT-2 language model. [177] Several sites host interactive demonstrations of various circumstances of GPT-2 and other transformer designs. [178] [179] [180]
GPT-2's authors argue without supervision language designs to be general-purpose learners, illustrated by GPT-2 attaining state-of-the-art precision and perplexity on 7 of 8 zero-shot tasks (i.e. the model was not additional trained on any task-specific input-output examples).

The corpus it was trained on, called WebText, contains slightly 40 gigabytes of text from URLs shared in Reddit submissions with at least 3 upvotes. It avoids certain concerns encoding vocabulary with word tokens by utilizing byte pair encoding. This permits representing any string of characters by encoding both private characters and multiple-character tokens. [181]
GPT-3

First explained in May 2020, Generative Pre-trained [a] Transformer 3 (GPT-3) is a not being watched transformer language design and the successor to GPT-2. [182] [183] [184] OpenAI mentioned that the full version of GPT-3 contained 175 billion parameters, [184] 2 orders of magnitude bigger than the 1.5 billion [185] in the complete version of GPT-2 (although GPT-3 designs with as couple of as 125 million criteria were also trained). [186]
OpenAI stated that GPT-3 succeeded at certain "meta-learning" jobs and could generalize the function of a single input-output pair. The GPT-3 release paper gave examples of translation and cross-linguistic transfer learning between English and Romanian, and in between English and German. [184]
GPT-3 significantly enhanced benchmark results over GPT-2. OpenAI cautioned that such scaling-up of language models could be approaching or experiencing the fundamental ability constraints of predictive language models. [187] Pre-training GPT-3 needed a number of thousand petaflop/s-days [b] of compute, compared to tens of petaflop/s-days for the full GPT-2 design. [184] Like its predecessor, [174] the GPT-3 trained model was not immediately launched to the public for concerns of possible abuse, although OpenAI prepared to permit gain access to through a paid cloud API after a two-month free personal beta that started in June 2020. [170] [189]
On September 23, 2020, GPT-3 was licensed exclusively to Microsoft. [190] [191]

Sora's development group called it after the Japanese word for "sky", to represent its "unlimited imaginative capacity". [223] Sora's technology is an adjustment of the technology behind the DALL · E 3 text-to-image model. [225] OpenAI trained the system using publicly-available videos as well as copyrighted videos accredited for that function, but did not expose the number or the exact sources of the videos. [223]
OpenAI showed some Sora-created high-definition videos to the public on February 15, 2024, mentioning that it could generate videos up to one minute long. It likewise shared a technical report highlighting the techniques utilized to train the design, and the model's abilities. [225] It acknowledged some of its shortcomings, consisting of battles simulating complicated physics. [226] Will Douglas Heaven of the MIT Technology Review called the presentation videos "impressive", however noted that they must have been cherry-picked and may not represent Sora's common output. [225]
Despite uncertainty from some academic leaders following Sora's public demonstration, noteworthy entertainment-industry figures have shown considerable interest in the innovation's potential. In an interview, actor/filmmaker Tyler Perry expressed his awe at the innovation's capability to generate realistic video from text descriptions, mentioning its prospective to reinvent storytelling and content production. He said that his excitement about Sora's possibilities was so strong that he had decided to stop briefly prepare for expanding his Atlanta-based film studio. [227]
