OpenAI just bought Neptune—here's what that means
OpenAI, the folks behind ChatGPT, are snapping up Neptune, a startup known for its tools that help track and debug AI training.
The price tag is rumored to be under $400 million in stock.
OpenAI already relies on Neptune's platform to keep its GPT models running smoothly.
What happens next for Neptune users?
Neptune's hosted service will wind down over three months, wrapping up by March 4, 2026.
After that, the app and API will shut down and all data gets wiped for good.
If you're using their cloud service, you'll need to export your stuff before the deadline.
Your data stays safe (promise!)
Neptune says no customer content or personal info will be handed over to OpenAI during this transition.
Self-hosted users are making plans with their account managers now.
The company is urging everyone to act soon so nothing important gets lost in the shuffle.
