Announcing OpenAI Grove Cohort 2
OpenAI News今天我们开始接受下一届 OpenAI Grove 计划的申请。该计划面向处在创业初期、技术背景的人才。 OpenAI Grove 既不是创业加速器，也不是传统培训项目：它为那些还在构想前期、对在人工智能领域创业有强烈好奇心的人，提供浓缩的人才网络、与 OpenAI 研究人员的联合打造机会，以及旨在加速创业进程的各类资源。参与者在探索早期概念时，将得到来自 OpenAI 团队与 OpenAI Grove 社群同行的指导与建议。
该计划旨在建立一个长期的网络关系。项目将从为期五周的内容与活动开始，所有线下活动将在 OpenAI San Francisco HQ 举办，包含现场工作坊、每周办公时间（office hours）以及来自 OpenAI 技术负责人提供的导师辅导。除技术支持与社群交流外，参与者还有机会在相关工具和模型公开之前，先行实际使用 OpenAI 的新工具与模型。项目结束后，参与者可以选择寻求融资，或在 OpenAI 内部或外部走其他发展路径。
本届 OpenAI Grove 招募约十五名参与者。我们鼓励来自各类背景、学科与经验层次的个人申请。请在 2026 年 1 月 12 日前通过下方表格提交申请。

Today, we’re opening the applications for the next cohort of OpenAI Grove, a 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 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 January 12th, 2026.
