OpenAI will open its first applied-AI lab outside the United States in Singapore, with a S$300m ($235m) commitment and a staffing ramp to about 200 people over the next few years.

Today, we’re deepening our AI investments in Singapore through a new partnership.

The government and OpenAI will collaborate on “OpenAI for Singapore”, a joint initiative to strengthen the country’s position as a leading hub for applied, AI-native innovation.
