According to @OpenAI, the Startup Grants program has been significantly upgraded, now offering qualified startups 12 months of free access to over 680 hours of Conversational AI, compared to the previous 3-month window. The program also raises concurrency limits and provides enhanced support, enabling startups to scale their AI-powered solutions more efficiently. This expansion directly lowers the entry barrier for AI adoption in early-stage companies and fosters rapid prototyping and deployment of AI applications across industries. These improvements are poised to accelerate innovation and create new business opportunities in the AI ecosystem (source: @OpenAI on Twitter).
