And I was working at a company called Milt at the time, building models for machine translation.

And I started to hear the researchers grumbling about this thing as this seems pretty promising.

And then I was basically like, I want to go to the company that I think wants to lead this.

And opening eye at the time was building, let's started building, um,

People don't know this, but it actually started out building robots.

Its first product... Well, actually, that's not true.

Its very first product was a Dota game.

So it was building video game models.

It was trying to build multi-agent models, and it won Dota, which is a famous computer game.

And then they went on to building a hand that could solve a Rubik's Cube, so they moved on to robotics.

But the Transformer paper, Attention is All You Need...

changed everything.

And all of OpenAI's attention focused on language models because of this paper.

And I at the time was like, cool, this is it.

And so 2018, I probably had the conviction to know that it was going to work and then set out to working at one of these companies.

And it was in 2020 that OpenAI decided that it was going to commercialize GPT-3.

And so it built an API, the GPT-3 API that I was hired effectively.

I was...

I was only salesperson.

I was only business person in the company.
