This is what I sent to my colleagues at OpenAI: Hi all, I made the difficult decision to leave OpenAI as an employee, but I’m looking to work closely together as a partner going forward. Contributing to the mission of OpenAI and working with world-class teams to create and improve ChatGPT has been an experience of a lifetime. But I’ve gotten really excited about AI for science. My undergrad was in physics and I’m keen to apply this technology there. Because AI for science is one of the most strategically important areas to OpenAI and achieving ASI, OpenAI is planning to invest in and partner with my new company. So I’ll see you all around! Thanks to all the leadership who believed in me early on, especially, Sam, Greg, and Mark. Thank you everyone on post-training and to all of our collaborators across research and product. I’ll miss working with so many of you, but will be cheering you on! Post-training has an amazing roster of talent and leaders who will continue to drive its success.
