Piotr Niedźwiedź, CEO of Neptune, stated in a blog post that this acquisition will enable closer collaboration between the two companies. Niedźwiedź revealed that Neptune will gradually stop offering services to external clients in the coming months, which means its current customers will be affected. However, specific acquisition terms have not been disclosed yet.
Jakub Pachocki, Chief Scientist at OpenAI, highly praised Neptune's technology, stating that Neptune developed a fast and accurate system that effectively helps researchers analyze complex training processes. OpenAI plans to further collaborate with Neptune, deeply integrating its tools into its own training system to fully understand the model's learning process.
It is understood that Neptune has raised over $18 million from investors such as Almas Capital and TDJ Pitango Venture Capital. Although the acquisition still needs to meet customary closing conditions, Neptune is confident about its future development. Niedźwiedź stated in his blog that he thanks all customers, investors, co-founders, and colleagues for their support and looks forward to starting a new chapter with the help of OpenAI.
In the field of artificial intelligence, OpenAI has recently been actively acquiring companies, indicating its ambitions in technological innovation and market expansion.
