OpenAI Launches ChatGPT API as Figure Unveils Humanoid Robot
This week in tech, OpenAI releases a new API for ChatGPT while a startup called Figure tests a general-purpose humanoid robot. Meanwhile, Salesforce reports a strong fiscal fourth-quarter turnaround.
OpenAI introduces a new API that allows businesses to integrate ChatGPT technology directly into their own apps, websites, and services. Major companies like Snap, Quizlet, Instacart, and Shopify are already signing on as early adopters to leverage this human-like text-generating AI for various practical applications.
A startup named Figure emerges from stealth to show off a general-purpose bipedal humanoid robot. The company completes an alpha build of the robot in December and currently tests it in its Sunnyvale offices, focusing on performing a wide range of manual labor tasks.
Salesforce reports strong fiscal fourth-quarter earnings that demonstrate a notable turnaround for the company. In other news, a government watchdog finds that the Secret Service and ICE repeatedly fail to obtain proper legal paperwork when conducting invasive cell phone surveillance using cell-site simulators.
