Usage: 10M+ users[edit]

  • 10 million users using Stable Diffusion as their AI art generator.[2]
  • 2 million images created per day using DALL-E.[3]
  • 1.5 million users using DALL-E for generative AI art.[3]

Fundraising: 1B+ invested in generative AI[edit]

  • $1 billion raised by OpenAI, the creator of DALL-E.[4]
  • $125 million raised by Jasper, which leverages OpenAI's GPT-3 AI writer to write content for marketers.[5]
  • $101 million raised by Stability AI, the developer of Stable Diffusion, which is open source.[6]

Valuations: Up to an estimated $20B[edit]

  • $20 billion estimated valuation for OpenAI.[4]
  • $1.5 billion valuation for Jasper.[5]
  • $1 billion valuation for Stability AI.[6]

Parameters used: hundreds of billions[edit]

  • 540 billion parameters used for Google's Pathways Language Model (PaLM), announced on 4 April 2022. Google claimed that this AI was better than all other AIs (including Gopher), but did not release a product.[7]
  • 530 billion parameters used for NVIDIA's Megatron-Turing natural language generation model.[8]
  • 280 billion parameters used for Google's Deepmind's Gopher, announced on 8 December 2021. At the time, Deepmind claimed that this model was better than GPT-3 and other models at language capabilities in all areas analyzed (humanities, social sciences, medicine, general knowledge, science/technology, and maths).[9]
  • 175 billion parameters used for OpenAI's GPT-3, released on 11 June 2020.[10]
  • GPT-4 is expected to have more than 175 billion parameters, but less than the 540 billion parameters of PaLM.[11]
  • 12 billion parameters used for OpenAI's DALL-E, released on 20 July 2022.[12]
  • 5.6 billion parameters used for Stability AI, which leveraged the open-source database LAION 5B, which houses 5.6 billion images from the internet.[13] According to CEO Mohammed Emad Mostaque, the company used 256 NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs for 150,000 hours in total, at a cost of $600,000.[14][15]

Productivity improvements[edit]

  • 23% to 30% of Github Copilot's shown suggestions were accepted by developers, according to a survey done with 2,000 U.S.-based programmers in 2012.[16]
