OpenAI’s CFO, Sarah Friar, just announced that OpenAI is exploring a move towards IP-based agreements as a source of revenue. As reported in Business Insider: “In one example, [Friar] pointed to drug discovery: if a pharma partner used OpenAI technology to help develop a breakthrough medicine, [OpenAI] could take a licensed portion of the drug's sales”. This is exactly why we built Fearn the way we did, from day one. Fearn’s software is built with zero API calls to external AI models. If your entire business is about protecting ideas, you can’t build an infrastructure that might claim a piece of them. Nor can you build a business that relies on external AI models, whose policies are out of your control. At Fearn, our belief is that your intellectual property remains entirely yours, and we’ve built our company to service this position. We enable teams to move faster and save costs, but never at the expense of your IP. businessinsider.com/openai-cfo-sar…

excited to finally come out of stealth! Together with @af_gao , we are building @fearn_ai , the only disclosure-safe AI solution for drafting intellectual property. 3rd party models can't be trusted with sensitive IP data, given the risks around public disclosure. Fearn has developed its own hypercompact foundation models, built and trained especially for IP law and its privacy needs. Our hypercompact model architectures mean that we can deploy our models without hardware constraints. Everything can be run on your existing system, and we can guarantee complete data sovereignty. Our bespoke foundation models outperform all models for IP law tasks. Our models are trained on only high quality IP data and expert labels. We’re backed by the good folks at @speedrun, along with angels from the best law firms and AI labs, including @thinkymachines . Control your hashtag #AI, control your hashtag #IP.
