OpenAI, 음성 복제 스타트업 Weights.gg 인수
OpenAI는 음성 복제 스타트업 Weights.gg를 인수하며 직원 약 6명을 흡수했고, 공개 도구보다 자체 음성 기술을 발전시키려 하고 있습니다.
openai acquired weights.gg, a platform where users created and shared algorithms to clone voices of celebrities like samuel l. jackson and taylor swift. the startup, which raised roughly $4 million, ceased operations in april 2026 as its team of six integrated into openai's workforce. unlike weights.gg, openai will not offer public voice cloning tools due to safety concerns but will use the talent to enhance proprietary features like chatgpt's voice mode and developer apis. this acquisition underscores openai's strategy to secure specialized talent while restricting access to potential misuse of deepfake technology.
