Openai CEO Sam Altman has given an invitation to engineers and system designers to join the AI company. This week on some positions on X (East Twitter), Mr. Altman determined the growing requirement of talent, especially in the field of mass computing and infrastructure.
“If you are interested in infrastructure and very large -scale computing systems, the scale of what is happening in OpenaiI is crazy and we have very difficult/interesting challenges. Please consider joining us! We can use your help strictly,” Mr. Altman wrote.
In a follow -up post, he said, “In particular, if you thought how to squeeze the maximum performance from a system, we would like to talk to you. And if you have a background in compiler design or programming language design, we can have something great for you.”

Mr. Altman’s call for talent comes at an important time for the company.
This month, Openi achieved an investment round of $ 40 billion under the leadership of SoftBank Group. Funding is placed for the construction of the next generation AI tool and close to the ambitious target of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI).
The Japanese tech investment giant said that it would provide Openai with $ 10 billion in funding by mid-April, followed by another $ 30 billion in December and $ 30 billion of $ 30 billion, AI company shifted to a profit-profit model by the end of the year, according to a report by the Reuters.
Openai’s future infrastructure scheme is also taking shape under the Stargate project.
In an announcement in January, Openai said that the Stargate project is “a new company, intending to invest $ 500 billion in the next four years, creating a new AI infrastructure for Openai in the United States.”
While this project was originally conceived to strengthen the US AI capabilities, its scope is already widespread. According to reports, Stargate is actively discovering international expansion opportunities, considering possible investment in UK, France and Germany.
Mr. Altman’s hiring appeal is widely seen as a strategic move to strengthen the engineering muscles required for Stargate and other initiatives, especially as competition.
Elon Musk’s AI venture, XAI, Memphis, is ready to score its supercompute feature significantly, according to one, plans to accommodate more than a million GPU. Roots Report. The expansion highlighted the push of XA to keep pace with contestants such as Openi in the race to dominate the AI landscape.
The time of recruitment push also reflects stress on existing systems.
The major equipment of Openai, Chatgpt, has experienced a sharp spike in user activity. Its use was reportedly doubled within a week, thanks to a viral trend, where users began to generate fictional images in the style of Japanese Animation House Studio Ghibli. Openai’s image-generation platform has been a major driver of this boom.
Mr. Altman has openly admitted that this popularity has accepted that tension on his team and systems. In First post On social media, he noted the ongoing shortage of GPU as an important bottleneck.
