OpenAI pays media companies $1-5 million a year to train its large language models using news articles

Two media company executives who recently negotiated with OpenAI said that OpenAI pays between $1 million and $5 million annually to some media companies to use their news articles to train their large language models. Even for small publishers, this is a small amount, which may make it difficult for OpenAI to reach an agreement. Meanwhile, an executive said that Apple, which is trying to catch up with OpenAI and Google in the generative AI field, is also trying to reach agreements with publishers to use their content. Apple offers more funding, but also wants broader rights to use the content than OpenAI. (The Information)
