TBPN 打造了一个特别的平台，日常就围绕 AI 与开发者展开讨论，成为行业内实时对话的重要场所。很多人已经在看他们的节目，并依赖它来把握业界动态。
在思考 OpenAI 未来的传播策略时，我意识到传统的传播手册并不适用于我们。我们不是一家普通公司，我们正推动一场深远的技术变革。把 AGI 带向世界的使命，也意味着我们有责任为围绕 AI 所带来的变化开展真正、有建设性的对话创造空间——让开发者和技术使用者处于对话中心。
这正是 TBPN 所搭建的。与其试图自行复制这一模式，不如将他们纳入、支持他们的发展并帮助他们扩张，同时保留让他们与众不同的要素。其中关键在于编辑独立性。 TBPN 将继续制作自己的节目、选择嘉宾并自行做出编辑决策——这是其公信力的基石，我们在协议中明确予以保护。
我也很期待他们出色的传播与市场直觉能够为我们的团队带来新思路。他们帮助过许多品牌在线推广，对行业走向有敏锐把握，这些能力给我留下了深刻印象。我期待把他们的才能应用到节目之外，创新我们向世界介绍 AI 的方式，帮助公众更好理解这项技术对日常生活的全面影响。
TBPN 将并入我们的 Strategy org，向 Chris Lehane 汇报。很高兴欢迎 Jordi 、 John 、 Dylan 及整个团队加入。
TBPN 表示：过去一年，我们不仅近距离观察了 OpenAI ，也关注了整个生态系统，实时报道每日新闻、公告和产品发布。尽管我们有时对行业持批评态度，但在与 Sam 及 OpenAI 团队接触后，最令人印象深刻的是他们对反馈的开放态度以及把事情做对的决心。我们认为，将评论转化为对这项技术在全球如何分发与被理解产生实质影响，是非常重要的。

Fidji Simo shared this message with the company earlier today:
I’m excited to share that we’ve acquired TBPN. This acquisition brings a team with strong editorial instincts, deep audience understanding, and a proven ability to convene influential voices across tech, business, and culture.
TBPN has built something pretty special. It’s one of the places where the conversation about AI and builders is actually happening day to day. A lot of you already watch it, and rely on it to stay close to what’s going on.
As I've been thinking about the future of how we communicate at OpenAI, one thing that's become clear is that the standard communications playbook just doesn't apply to us. We're not a typical company. We're driving a really big technological shift. And with the mission of bringing AGI to the world comes a responsibility to help create a space for a real, constructive conversation about the changes AI creates—with builders and people using the technology at the center.
That’s exactly what TBPN has built. So rather than trying to recreate that ourselves, it made a lot of sense to bring them in, support what they’re doing, and help them scale—while keeping what makes them special. A core part of this is editorial independence. TBPN will continue to run their programming, choose their guests, and make their own editorial decisions. That’s foundational to their credibility, and it’s something we’re explicitly protecting as part of this agreement.
I'm also excited to bring their amazing comms and marketing instincts to the team. They've helped many brands market online and because they have a strong pulse on where the industry is going, their comms and marketing ideas have really impressed me. I can't wait to leverage their talent outside of the show to innovate on how we bring AI to the world in a way that helps people understand the full impact of this technology on their daily lives.
TBPN will sit within our Strategy org, reporting to Chris Lehane. Really excited to welcome Jordi, John, Dylan, and the broader team.
A statement from TBPN:
“Over the past year, we’ve had a front-row seat not just to OpenAI, but to the entire ecosystem, covering the daily news, announcements, and launches in real time. While we’ve been critical of the industry at times, after getting to know Sam and the OpenAI team, what stood out most was their openness to feedback and commitment to getting this right. Moving from commentary to real impact in how this technology is distributed and understood globally is incredibly important to us.”
