ChatGPT Launches 'Company Knowledge'
- ares623 1y agoBlood for the blood god
- cherryteastain 1y agoTokens for the token throne?
- blitzar 1y agohttps://forecaster.biz/openai-tokens-award/ https://forecaster.biz/openai-tokens-award/ They do offer youtube plaques for sacrificing to the token god. I want the trillion token plaque for my downstairs bathroom.
- sph 1y agos/Hacker News/OpenAI News/g Are they pushing multiple announcements per day to take the stock market to greater heights? 6 announcements this week alone: https://openai.com/news/ https://openai.com/news/
- pezgrande 1y agoMore like Anthropic and OpenAI are in a competition to see who can release the most pointless products in the shortest amount of time.
- amarcheschi 1y agoAt this point it was still more entertaining to read people here panicking about agi and the end of the world, now it's just boring announcements
- blitzar 1y agoWe are going to cure cancer and ... world peace by the end of the year turned into 31 flavours of gibli.
- SirFatty 1y agoWhich is probably a distraction.
- red-iron-pine 11mo agofrom a bubble trying its hardest to burst
- aleph_minus_one 1y ago> More like Anthropic and OpenAI are in a competition to see who can release the most pointless products in the shortest amount of time. If the products were at least point-free [1] instead of pointless. :-) (sorry for the nerdy pun) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacit_programming
- sebazzz 1y agoThis feature is actually useful and M365 Copilot Enterprise already has this for a while. It is actually quite useful because it basically has access to all public (“public” as in: accessible to any employee) information in a company - on Sharepoint - plus your own mailbox. It helps finding information I otherwise couldn’t have found easily with the company-wide search functionality.
- KeplerBoy 1y agoThey are not even publicly traded.
- ares623 1y agoWith incestuous deals going on, they might as well be. One weird trick to get out of their non profit state.

- lukax 1y ago> It’s powered by a version of GPT‑5 that’s trained to look across multiple sources to give more comprehensive and accurate answers. So another GPT-5 fine-tune. Codex also uses a custom GPT-5 fine-tune. Does fine-tuning make sense now? Or do you have to be OpenAI to fine-tune the models with a mix of existing data and new behaviours?
- SilverSlash 1y agoShould we assume "GPT-5" still just means the LLM? It could mean 'GPT-5 the system' which means the model has RAG, tools to use it, and maybe fine-tuned to call those tools.
- Leynos 1y agoI think that you have to be OpenAI (or X, Google or Anthropic) to be able to fine tune models of this scale through reinforcement learning at present. Look at Tinker for an example of where things might be heading though (https://tinker-docs.thinkingmachines.ai/ https://tinker-docs.thinkingmachines.ai/) At present though, I get the sense that reinforcement learning at scale is the current battleground (and has been for most of 2025). But we also see over time, the general models adopt the skills taught to the specialized models. Look at how the learning that made codex-1 went into GPT5.
- blitzar 1y ago> To get started, tap “Company knowledge” under the message composer. When using it for the first time, you’ll need to connect your work apps. I hope it isnt "enabled by default" otherwise people will be fired on the spot for doing this.
- andy_ppp 1y agoThis is a fishing expedition for even more data... I don't know if you want everything people connect to this available for people to use LLMs to surface.
- V__ 1y agoQuick, let's ship another feature before the market realizes it's an ai bubble..
- incoming1211 1y agoai isn't a bubble.
- tehmillhouse 1y agoI wish my forehead had more headroom for the amount of travel my right eyebrow needs to accommodate this statement.
- dist-epoch 1y agoThere is a bubble all-right, in token usage. All big providers show exponential increase in token usage month over month. Despite continuous optimization and data center buildup, I frequently encounter "model is overloaded" errors.
- rvz 1y agoThe parent comment is an indicator that we are in a AI bubble.
- consp 1y agoLooks a lot like web2.0 though.
- azangru 1y agoHaven't we already gone through web3.0?
- ImNotSponsored 1y agoChorus of totally unsponsored ~~shill~~ ~~advocate~~ enthusiast posts calling this THE NEXT BIG THING inbound in 5...
- blitzar 1y agoMy startup is working on a similar problem ... inbound in 5 ...
- cantor_S_drug 1y agoAlready exists. https://www.glean.com/ https://www.glean.com/
- blitzar 1y agoYou get all the upvotes I have to give if your photo is on that leadership page
- KeplerBoy 1y agoThere are hundreds of those startups. Ever since ChatGPT was released people started to think about what to put in the context. Since finetuning frontier models is out of the question, this is the only thing you can feasibly do.
- cantor_S_drug 1y agoGlean was working in this space since 2019, before chatgpt moment.
- KeplerBoy 1y agoToday it looks like yet another wrapper.
- jillesvangurp 1y agoIt's more like a chorus of skeptics, nay-sayers, Luddites, conspiracy nuts, doomsday predictors, arm-chair philosophers, self-proclaimed experts, etc. mixed with all of AI fan boys. The signal to noise ratio in these threads is pretty terrible these days. It's just a lot of people shouting their opinion blindly to fuel their own vanity and egos. And then you get meta discussions like this as well. Objectively, this OpenAI press release is announcing something that I might actually spend company money on. Finding out about such things is why I read HN. A lot of my AI chats are about copy pasting bits of information into a chat just to create enough of a context so that I can get some meaningful answer. The whole groundhog day of "who are you and what are you trying to do" is very frustrating. Anything addressing that is probably useful to me. And this sounds exactly like it would help me. OpenAI is big enough and this announcement interesting enough that it probably warrants being on the front page more than whatever opinionated brainfart of some self proclaimed AI expert (positive / negative) competing for the same space there. There's a lot of drivel getting upvoted lately that probably could be labeled as "opinionated drivel" and unceremoniously and aggressively filtered by our dearly beloved HN moderators and editors. But this isn't one of those things IMHO. And in fairness, there just is a lot of substantial day to day news as well.
- hansmayer 1y agoAnd in the next episode of "Pointlessly Searching For The Killer App"....
- dist-epoch 1y agoThey already have The Killer App - ChatGPT
- noduerme 1y agoTime will tell if it's a killer app. In the interim they seem to still be searching for a market.
- dist-epoch 1y ago> Wow. ChatGPT's 1-month product retention curve (US only data surveyed across 28mn people). From <60% 2yrs ago to 90%. The most irresistible product ever created in the history of tech. https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/1981091579340419524 https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/1981091579340419524
- noduerme 1y agoNot an audience, a market. Customers who actually pay.
- hansmayer 1y ago[dead]
- netdevphoenix 1y agoNot looking for them if their killer app is suffering from slowed growth
- aleph_minus_one 1y agoAI boyfriends/girlfriends are a serious thing (and when GPT-5 was released, people were complaining that this AI is much worse suited for this purpose). If you combine it with realistic human-size puppets, this might get big.
- shanehoban 1y agoClaude memory was posted 16 hours before this, kinda crazy how fast they churn this stuff out
- matusp 1y agoThey raised billions of dollars, and they're obviously spending it to develop just about anything they can think of. What's rather concerning for them is that the core AI seems to have pretty much stagnated by now.
- ares623 1y ago> OpenAI never trains on your data by default. Are embeddings used for RAG considered company data (presumably calculated by OpenAI), or OpenAI’s? (I don’t know if that’s how RAG actually works)
- ben_w 1y ago> (I don’t know if that’s how RAG actually works) As I understand it, strictly speaking RAG is broader than what you describe, but in practice you're correct for most implementations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-augmented_generation#Process https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-augmented_generation...
- ares623 1y agoAre embeddings usable for training then? It should be right since that’s what an LLM “sees” anyway. I wonder if that’s what’s going on behind the scenes.
- arnvald 1y agoThis is actually an interesting space, and I think there's a room for such products. Large companies struggle a lot with their knowledge bases, and discoverability is part of the problem (especially when using multiple tools: Confluence, Docs, Chat app, etc.) The problem here is that there are companies that focus on this area and keep improving their products, while for OpenAI it's one of dozens of tools they launch, so it's hard to believe they'll keep dedicating adequate resources to make this a mature tool that's worth the investment (in form of time and money) for the clients
- tirumaraiselvan 1y agoNow we know why OpenAI told its investors to avoid Glean[1] [1]: https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-tells-investor-not-invest-five-ai-startups-including-sutskevers-ssi-2024-10-02/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-tells-investor-not...
- SilverSlash 1y agoOff topic but does anyone know what exactly Sutskever's SSI (mentioned in the article and with a valuation of $32B...) is up to? They have released... well... absolutely nothing in the year+ of existence.
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- isodev 1y agoNo, no, no..., make it stop before it lays eggs.
- cladopa 1y agoThis is a great way to spy on all your company data and give it freely to three letter agencies. Marxist politicians in companies like France or Spain will demand access to it just like with private messengers for fighting tax fraud, child abuse or whatever pretext they can manufacture to get access to this succulent information they can privately manipulate for making themselves rich, destroying the opposition... Power concentration is very dangerous. Absolute power corrupts.
- arkensaw 1y agoI can see how this would be useful. It's sort of like an auto RAG right?
- nprateem 1y agoLots of people missing the importance of this. This is a critical piece for a clearly larger play that will challenge many startups when combined with agents + just a few more key features (which I won't go into since I'm not consulting for them).
- theshrike79 1y agoThey still don't have any scoping for the connectors. There's ZERO way our legal team will let us connect ChatGPT to Google Drive for example. ALL of our GDrive. Specific directories, sure. But there's no way to do it.
- red-iron-pine 11mo agomirror those directories to a different namespace or location let GPT drink it up obliterate the new namespace until you need to train it again; wash, rinse, repeat
- theshrike79 11mo agoNow do this for 300+ employees constantly. It's not sustainable. We need scoped MCPs before any of this is viable. The receiving end needs a setting that "user X's ChatGPT MCP can access directories [x,y,z] in Google Drive. This wouldn't require any changes to the MCP protocol in general. OR the whole spec must be changed so that when an MCP is connecting, there is a negotiation about the scope (select which directories are shared) AND that list is checked on the receiving end against a whitelist of allowed directories.
