In an era, where artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving every digital interaction, Reddit, a cornerstone of online communities, has adopted a bold step to join OpenAI as a partner. On May 16, Reddit announced its new partnership with OpenAI to bring revolution to its online communities.
What is Reddit?
Reddit is a social news website and forum where users share news and posts. The Company, Reddit, was established by two American entrepreneurs named Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in 2005. It became famous in a short period, as people don’t need to share their personal information, get access to a large community, and create accounting is super easy. On this platform, Redditors can like posts and increase their reach by which they get more attention. When you search on Google, often the top results lead to a useful discussion on Reddit threads where different opinions and information are shared by large communities.
The truth behind the Reddit and OpenAI partnership
Reddit, in its announcement, revealed that it is essential for them to be open to the internet by providing access to their users to utilise their content fully. Modern technologies like LLMs, ML, and AI can help them to enhance their user experience. Sam Altman has the third largest capital stockholder of the firm, more than 5%, as per Reddit’s data, for which OpenAI and Reddit made a partnership in which both parties will get benefits.
Well, now the question is, what awaits Reddit from this partnership? Reddit is going to bring enhanced content moderation, a smarter recommendation system and a personalised experience through new AI-powered features to Redditors and mods. Not only this, but to bring a new vision to life, Reddit also utilise the platform of OpenAI to build new AI models for more enhanced content in future. Even, OpenAI will become the advertising partner of Reddit by which it can advance its consumer targeting, improve its ad performance, and uphold innovation in its Ad formats.
OpenAI also get benefits from this partnership. First of all, OpenAI will carry the vast and diverse content of Reddit to ChatGPT and other new products by accessing the application programming interface (API) of Reddit. The API will enable OpenAI to offer real-time, systemised and exceptional content to its users sourced directly from Reddit’s diverse communities.
Even in the blog post of OpenAI, Brad Lighcap, the COO of OpenAI, revealed that – “We are thrilled to partner with Reddit to enhance ChatGPT with uniquely timely and relevant information, and to explore the possibilities to enrich the Reddit experience with AI-powered features.”
Reddit and Google partnership
Last February, in a blog post, Google disclosed that they are extending the partnership with Reddit. They announced a new Cloud Partnership with Reddit which enables new AI-powered capabilities utilising the Vertex AI. The partnership was reported to be $60 million (₹500 crore) worth.
These two partnerships can enable Reddit to strengthen its financial capabilities in future and enhance its scalability to overseas markets. Moreover, AI-powered capabilities can help Reddit bring innovative features which can differentiate them from other online platforms. Also with Google and OpenAI, they can dominate the market leaders as real-time search platforms for worldwide users.
