This announcement was made just a few days after OpenAI closed a funding deal for $6.6 billion that increased the value of the company to $157 billion, and after top executives resigned.

Despite concerns regarding projection, profit, and organizational structure, many users showed interest in joining the company on X. “Exciting to see OpenAI growing globally. Great opportunities for anyone looking to be part of the AI space,” wrote one user. Others wished the company opened offices in their home cities.

According to Tech Crunch, OpenAI is already building a team in Singapore—its second location in Asia—, hiring new talents, and expects to open the new office by the end of the year. The company is also partnering with AI Singapore—a national program that supports companies and organizations in AI—to expand its technology in Southeast Asia.

“Singapore, with its rich history of technology leadership, has emerged as a leader in artificial intelligence, recognizing its potential to solve some of society’s hardest problems and advance economic prosperity,” said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI in a statement. “We’re excited to partner with the government and the country’s thriving AI ecosystem as we expand into the APAC region.”
