OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has invited Elon Musk to attend the company's private GPT-5.5 event on May 5 in San Francisco. This invitation was a public response to a social media post joking about Musk attending uninvited. The gesture occurs as Musk is engaged in a legal battle with OpenAI, alleging the company has strayed from its original non-profit mission.
OpenAI released GPT-5.5 on April 24, describing it as a new intelligence class for real-world applications and agent-powered systems. The new model boasts improvements in coding, computer-based tasks, knowledge work, and scientific research. Meanwhile, Musk is involved in a trial in Oakland, California, where he is contesting OpenAI's shift from a non-profit to a for-profit structure.
