OpenAI Acquires Statsig

OpenAI has agreed to acquire Statsig, an experimentation platform, for $1.1 billion in an all-stock deal. Statsig specialises in A/B testing, feature flagging, and real-time decision-making. This acquisition marks a significant move for OpenAI, integrating Statsig's capabilities into its operations.

As part of the acquisition, Statsig's CEO, Vijaye Raji, will assume the role of CTO of Applications at OpenAI. The entire Statsig team will join OpenAI, with Statsig continuing to operate independently from its Seattle office. This acquisition underscores the increasing importance of rapid experimentation and data-informed decision-making in the AI era.

The integration of Statsig's platform will enable OpenAI to enhance its product development and deployment processes. This strategic move allows OpenAI to leverage Statsig's expertise in product experimentation to optimise its AI outputs and ensure the delivery of superior solutions.
