According to Odaily Planet Daily, OpenAI is setting up a team in Singapore to support the growing demand for artificial intelligence tools in the Asia-Pacific region. The new office will be established by the end of this year. In addition, OpenAI is also working with the Singapore Artificial Intelligence Association (AI Singapore).

Singapore is one of the countries with the highest per capita usage of ChatGPT, OpenAI said in a statement. Earlier this year, OpenAI opened its first Asia office in Tokyo, Japan, to provide customized GPT-4 models for Japanese-speaking customers.

Singapore is now the Asian hub for several major U.S. internet companies, including Google and Meta Platforms, which are also working together to build an undersea internet cable to support faster communications between Singapore and the U.S. West Coast.
