At the OpenAI VC summit in London - hearing from Sarah Friar - CFO of Open AI, Sandro Gianella Head of Policy EMEA, Dom Hallas of Startup Coalition. Some cool snippets.. The Estonian Government just bought chatGPT Edu for all 10th & 11th grade secondary school students. ~85% of Open AI users are outside the US. Agents are coming, models are getting faster, smaller, more performant. Previous compute cycles have underestimated the ultimate market sizes of these new platforms by around 38%.

"The Estonian Government just bought chatGPT Edu for all 10th & 11th grade secondary school students. ~85% of Open AI users are outside the US. " Amazing stats. First, cudos to Estonia, and, second, it shows that it's not a "Valley fad" or even a "mostly US" product: it's been embraced by many all over the world. I did quite a lot of research in the last couple of weeks and I probably spent 10x more time with AI models than with google. A couple years ago it would have been the other way round, and three years ago it would have been 100% google.
The growth and adoption of AI platforms are significantly reshaping the educational landscape and expanding market potential worldwide.
It was such a pleasure to have you with us. Thank you for coming!
So impressed by what Estonia is doing with education. OpenAI is a great partner which such potential for outsized impact with Leah Belsky leading the charge
I loved the Charlottes web anecdote, going to use that hack with my niece and nephew !
