Announcing OpenAI Grove
OpenAI News今天，我们宣布推出 OpenAI Grove，这是一个面向处于创业初期的技术人才的新项目。OpenAI Grove 不是传统的创业加速器或项目：它面向那些对 AI 创新充满好奇、尚未形成具体创意的个人，提供一个密集的人才网络，与 OpenAI 研究人员共同构建，并提供旨在加速你创业旅程的资源。参与者在探索早期概念时，将获得 OpenAI 团队和 Grove 社区同行的指导。
该项目是一个长期网络的起点。项目将从为期五周的内容和活动开始，地点设在 OpenAI 旧金山总部，包括线下工作坊、每周办公时间以及 OpenAI 技术领导的指导。除了技术支持和社区交流，参与者还有机会在新工具和模型公开发布前进行实际操作。项目结束后，参与者可以选择寻求融资或通过 OpenAI 内部或外部的其他途径继续发展。
首期 Grove 计划将招募约十五名参与者。我们欢迎来自各行各业、不同背景和经验水平的个人申请。请于 2025 年 9 月 24 日前提交申请表。

Today, we’re announcing the OpenAI Grove, a new program for technical talent at the very start of their company-building journey. The Grove is not a startup accelerator or traditional program: it offers pre-idea individuals deeply curious about building in AI a dense talent network, co-building with OpenAI researchers, and resources designed to accelerate your journey. As participants explore early concepts, they will receive counsel from the OpenAI team and community with peers in OpenAI Grove.
This program is the starting point of a long-term network. It will begin with five weeks of content and programming hosted in the OpenAI San Francisco HQ, including in-person workshops, weekly office hours, and mentoring from OpenAI technical leaders. In addition to technical support and community, participants will also have the opportunity to get hands-on with new OpenAI tools and models prior to general availability. Following the program, participants will be able to explore raising capital or pursue another avenue, internally or externally to OpenAI.
The first Grove cohort will consist of approximately fifteen participants. We recommend individuals from all backgrounds, disciplines, and experience levels apply. To apply, please submit the form below by September 24th, 2025.
