In a stunning turn of events late on Friday, the board of directors of AI firm OpenAI, the company behind popular AI blockbusters including ChatGPT, GPT-4, and DALL-E 3, ousted former Y Combinator president Sam Altman as CEO. Then, three senior OpenAI researchers quit, along with Greg Brockman, the company’s longtime president and co-founder. And there is still fallout.

Initially, the board abruptly announced that Mira Murati, the chief technology officer of OpenAI, would take Altman’s place. This announcement coincided with Altman’s dismissal. A few hours later, Murati signed a letter with hundreds of her coworkers, demanding that Altman return, that the board step down, and threatening to step down herself.

A letter threatening to be signed by almost all 770 workers of OpenAI has been circulated in protest of the board’s decision to remove CEO Sam Altman. They are requesting his reinstatement.

The news that Altman would be joining Microsoft to head an internal AI research team was made public on Monday morning. Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, stated that a different result was still possible as the day came to a close.

Cannot overstate the level of pride & respect I feel for @miramurati @bradlightcap @jasonkwon and the rest of the leadership team for their response to this crisis.

One team, one mission. https://t.co/w0nORxs3B1
