I can’t wait to see what Ilya Sutskever creates now that he’s leaving OpenAI
Ilya Sutskever, the cofounder and chief scientist of OpenAI, dropped a massive bombshell late on Tuesday, announcing his departure from the company that unleased ChatGPT onto the world, igniting this massive AI revolution. Sutskever teased that he will be moving on to an exciting but mysterious project after helping create the genAI products that turned OpenAI into one of the biggest companies in tech seemingly overnight.
Sutskever's departure isn't surprising considering the events at the company last fall. Back in November, Sutskever was seen as the mastermind behind the coup that saw Sam Altman get fired.
But then his role in the ouster came into question as Altman was rehired under the pressure of OpenAI employees, including Sutskever. While the chief scientist supported Altman's return, he hasn't exactly been seen since then.
What's surprising is the timing of the announcement. On Monday, OpenAI unveiled GPT-4o, arguably one of the most significant ChatGPT upgrades so far. The GPT-4o dropped right before Google's big I/O 2024 event, whose only focus was AI. Some of Google's announcements matched OpenAI's developments, showing how close the AI race between the two companies is about to get.
