In a post on X late Tuesday, Sutskever said he is leaving the ChatGPT maker for a project that is “personally meaningful to me,” but didn’t provide details. (The Logic)

Talking point: Sutskever—a Russian-born, Israeli-raised computer scientist who later moved to Canada and studied under AI luminary Geoffrey Hinton—reportedly led a coup last year against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman that threw the company into turmoil. Sustkever, an OpenAI co-founder and former board member, had concerns about Altman’s leadership given the huge potential of the company’s artificial intelligence capability. He later had a change of heart and sought to “reunite the company.” In his X post, Sutskever said he believed the company would build general AI that is “that is both safe and beneficial under the leadership of” Altman and others.
