John Schulman, one of the co-founders of OpenAI, wrote on X that it was a difficult decision to leave OpenAI. This choice was made because he wanted to delve into AI alignment and return to actual technical work. He believed that he could gain new perspectives at Anthropic. “My decision is a personal one,” Schulman said. He left not because OpenAI lacked support for alignment research, but because the company’s leaders have been committed to investing in this area.

Greg Brockman, president of OpenAI and one of its 11 co-founders, will take an extended leave of absence. Another co-founder and key leader, John Schulman, has left for Anthropic, a rival company founded by former OpenAI researchers. Peter Deng, a product director who joined the company last year, has also left, according to a person with direct knowledge of the company's changes. He previously served as product director at Meta Platform, Uber and Airtable. The previously unreported departures appear to be unrelated to each other, but suggest that the company's leadership has not yet stabilized after firing and rehiring CEO Sam Altman in November.
