OpenAI’s first acquisition is an enterprise computing startup

OpenAI has acquired Rockset, an enterprise analytics startup, to “power our search infrastructure across products,” according to a Friday blog post.

This acquisition is OpenAI’s first in which the company will integrate both the company’s technology and its team, a spokesperson says Bloomberg. The two companies did not share the terms of the acquisition. To date, Rockset has raised $105 million in funding.

“Rockset infrastructure enables companies to transform data into actionable information,” OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap says in a statement. “We are excited to provide these benefits to our customers by integrating Rockset foundations with OpenAI products.”

“Rockset will become part of OpenAI and power the search infrastructure supporting the OpenAI product suite,” says Rockset CEO Venkat Venkataramani in a post on the Rockset blog. “We will help OpenAI solve the difficult database problems that AI applications face at massive scale.”

Venkataramani says existing Rockset customers will not experience an “immediate change” and that the company will gradually migrate them off the platform. “Some” Rockset team members will move to OpenAI, Bloomberg says.
