AI Summary— plain English for professionals
OpenAI has created a faster version of its most powerful AI model that runs 14 times quicker than before, making it practical for businesses that need quick answers without waiting. This speed boost is aimed at getting more companies to pay for OpenAI's services, since many businesses care more about getting results fast than having the absolute most powerful AI. The faster version is currently available as a test, so companies can try it before deciding whether to switch.
OpenAI is launching a preview of a sped up version of its latest, most powerful model, in an effort to court enterprise users.
