1
OpenAI
Country: USA | Funding: $61.9B
OpenAI develops generative AI models: GPT for language, DALLE for images and Sora for video. The company's main product is the chatbot ChatGPT, which is used as a personal smart assistant and in enterprise customer support and knowledge management systems via APIs. The company also conducts scientific research aimed at achieving artificial general intelligence. The company's initial goal was the security and openness of artificial intelligence, but it has gradually moved toward closing and commercializing its ML and NLP technologies. According to CEO Sam Altman, AGI is achieving a certain amount of revenue. The primary OpenAI's investor is Microsoft and it has strategic partnership with NVidia.

DeepMind
Country: UK
DeepMind was acquired by Google as a leading ML startup and now acts as its mostly independent AI division. Its initial goal was to create strong artificial intelligence, which the developers hoped to achieve through the ability to play games (Atari, Go, chess, Dota) and control physical robots. DeepMind gradually took over all of Google's AI projects, including the LLM model and the Gemini chatbot. DeepMind was one of the first to develop multimodal intelligence, including language, code, images, video and 3D world generation. Furthermore, the startup continues projects of creating specialized machine learning systems for various industries, including medicine (drug development) and energy (energy optimization for Google's data centers).
