The departure comes after OpenAI went through a leadership crisis in November involving co-founder and CEO Sam Altman.In November, OpenAI's board ousted Altman, prompting resignations – or threats of resignations – including an open letter signed by virtually all of OpenAI's employees, and uproar from investors, including Microsoft. Within a week, Altman was back at the company, and board members Helen Toner, Tasha McCauley and Ilya Sutskever, who had voted to oust Altman, were out.
"I love Ilya... I hope we work together for the rest of our careers, my career, whatever," Altman said."Nothing to announce today.""This is very sad to me; Ilya is easily one of the greatest minds of our generation, a guiding light of our field, and a dear friend," Altman wrote."His brilliance and vision are well known; his warmth and compassion are less well known but no less important.
The update brings GPT-4 to everyone, including OpenAI's free users, technology chief Mira Murati said Monday in a livestreamed event. She added that the new model, GPT-4o, is"much faster," with improved capabilities in text, video and audio. OpenAI said it eventually plans to allow users to video chat with ChatGPT.
