Ahead of his talk at LeadDev West Coast in October, OpenAI’s Evan Morikawa goes behind-the-scenes on the challenges they faced scaling ChatGPT, the constant need to reset as a leader, and how GPUs don’t in fact grow on trees.
It was one of the most significant technology launches of a generation when OpenAI decided to throw open the floodgates and give users access to its large language model-powered ChatGPT tool. Since then, more than 100 million people have prompted the generative AI tool to answer questions, write computer code, and even write their resumes.
Ahead of his behind-the-scenes peek at how they did it at LeadDev West Coast later this year, LeadDev’s Editor in Chief, Scott Carey (SC), checked in with Evan Morikawa (EM), Applied Engineering Manager at OpenAI, to hear more about how his team overcame this unique scaling challenge.
