  • A blog post detailing Sam Altman's meeting with developers in London reveals some OpenAI secrets.

  • Altman says OpenAI won't release any products beyond ChatGPT that would compete with developers.

  • A chip shortage is slowing down development at OpenAI and stalling many short-term plans.

Sam Altman, the erudite cofounder and chief executive of OpenAI, has a message for software developers that should set them at ease: The company has no plans to roll out any more consumer-facing products like ChatGPT, according to a now taken down blog post by a startup founder who attended a private meeting with Altman.

Altman has been on a world tour to allay people's worst fears about artificial intelligence and to hear from developers and users of OpenAI's product. On a stop in London in May, he met behind closed doors with a small group of developers and startup founders, giving them a sneak peek at OpenAI's roadmap and biggest challenges.

Yet the conversation became public when Raza Habib, an attendee who is also the cofounder and CEO of Humanloop, a Y Combinator-backed startup that helps businesses build apps on top of large language models, blogged an account of the private meeting. The original blog post has since been taken down, but that hasn't stopped people from passing around a copy on an internet archiving site. Fortune first reported on the leak.

In 2020, OpenAI released its large language models for developers to purchase and bake into their own apps. Ever since, developers have been worried that the the company might roll out its own competing products.

Now, the artificial intelligence juggernaut wants to reassure its customers it's not coming to eat their lunch.

"Quite a few developers said they were nervous about building with the OpenAI APIs when OpenAI might end up releasing products that are competitive to them," Habib wrote in his blog post. "Sam said that OpenAI would not release more products beyond ChatGPT. He said there was a history of great platform companies having a killer app and that ChatGPT would allow them to make the APIs better by being customers of their own product."
