Since 2021, OpenAI employees and former employees have cumulatively cashed out nearly $3 billion through equity sales. This number is remarkable, especially in the tech industry where frequent stock sales are not common. SoftBank became the largest buyer in this transaction, purchasing almost half of the shares, further solidifying its position in the field of artificial intelligence. OpenAI holds two equity sales per year, with a significantly higher frequency than many tech companies. The original intention of this practice was to provide employees with the opportunity for financial freedom, thereby retention.

According to the latest prediction from Gartner, by 2028, 80% of generative AI business applications will be developed on existing data management platforms. This shift is expected to reduce development complexity and cut delivery time in half. Currently, the development of generative AI business applications mainly relies on combining large language models (LLMs) with corporate internal data, as well as evolving technologies such as vector search, metadata management, prompt design, and embedding techniques. However, without a unified management approach, companies may...

During the keynote speech at Snowflake Summit 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pointed out that more and more companies are beginning to view AI agents as entry-level employees. Altman stated that the focus of many employees' work has shifted to assigning tasks to AI agents, evaluating the quality of their results, integrating work content, and providing feedback. This working model is very similar to managing entry-level employees. Image source note: The image was generated by AI.

In a recent interview, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, issued an eye-catching warning. He stated that with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, within the next five years, half of the entry-level white-collar jobs may be replaced, and the unemployment rate could soar to 10% to 20%.
