Mira Murati, a 35-year-old executive, has announced her resignation from OpenAI after six and a half years with the company. This departure comes as part of a recent leadership shakeup at OpenAI, which has seen several executives leave the company. OpenAI is reportedly in talks for a new fundraising round that could value the firm at $150 billion. Murati was involved in the development of a new AI model called o1, which she claims displays human-like reasoning.

    1. I feel tremendous gratitude towards her for what she has helped us build and accomplish, but I most of all feel personal gratitude towards her for the support and love during all the hard times. I am excited for what she'll do next.
    2. We'll say more about the transition plans soon, but for now, I want to take a moment to just feel thanks.
    1. After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to leave OpenAI … I'm stepping away because I want to create the time and space to do my own exploration.
    2. My six-and-a-half years with the OpenAI team have been an extraordinary privilege.
    3. While I'll express my gratitude to many individuals in the coming days, I want to start by thanking Sam and Greg for their trust in me to lead the technical organization and for their support throughout the years.
    4. Some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place.
    5. Our recent releases of speech-to-speech and OpenAI o1 mark the beginning of a new era of interaction and intelligence … We didn't merely build smarter models, we fundamentally changed how AI systems learn and reason through complex problems.
    1. Question: why would key people leave an organization right before it was just about to develop AGI?
    2. This is kind of like quitting NASA months before the moon landing.
    3. Wouldn't you wanna stick around and be part of it?
