The Polish Core of the OpenAI Team: Driving AI Innovation
The photo of the IT specialists from OpenAI—the world-renowned organization behind ChatGPT—working on a new series of AI models underscores the significant Polish contribution to the development of artificial intelligence. It’s a powerful testament to Poland’s growing influence in the global AI landscape.
Poles at the Heart of OpenAI’s o1 Models
A remarkable fact: one-third of the team working on OpenAI’s series of o1 models are Poles (marked in red in the photo below). Among them is Wojciech Zaremba, a co-founder of OpenAI and a co-creator of ChatGPT. His pivotal role in shaping cutting-edge AI technologies highlights the talent Poland brings to the global tech stage. The o1 models, already integrated into ChatGPT, represent a major leap forward in solving complex problems with artificial intelligence.

Bielik: Poland’s Homegrown Language Model
Poland’s AI innovation doesn’t stop there. Within the country, a domestic large language model named Bielik has been developed. Created by a team from the SpeakLeash Foundation and the Academic Computer Center Cyfronet AGH, Bielik is designed specifically to excel in Polish-language tasks.
Why Bielik Stands Out
Bielik’s capabilities include:
Nuanced translations that capture the intricacies of the Polish language.
Cultural relevance, providing more accurate answers to questions rooted in the Polish cultural context compared to ChatGPT.
The second version of Bielik (v2) is available for free at www.bielik.ai, offering an accessible and culturally attuned AI solution.
The Future of AI: A Collaborative Effort
The contributions of Poles to OpenAI’s o1 models and the development of Bielik illustrate how global and local efforts can coexist to advance artificial intelligence. These achievements reinforce Poland’s position as a key player in the field of AI, showcasing the potential of Polish talent on the international stage.
