On August 6, with a post on X, Greg Brockman - President of OpenAI and also one of the 11 co-founders announced a long-term leave until the end of the year.

On the same day, another co-founder, John Schuman, who played a key role at the company, also announced his departure, moving to work for a rival company, Anthropic. He said it was a difficult decision, but he wanted to focus more deeply on AI and start a new chapter in his career. He also said he was proud of what he had done at OpenAI and continued to support his former colleagues.

In addition, Petre Deng - in charge of food, with experience working at Meta, Uber and Airtable also left OpenAI after a year of joining.

Thus, of the 11 founders, only three are still working at OpenAI. This shows the crisis at the top of the world's most famous AI startup.

In May, Jan Leike, senior co-lead of OpenAI's Superalignment project, also resigned and joined Anthropic.

Just hours before Leike, co-founder Ilya Sutskever also left OpenAI. Before that, other co-founders Daniel Kokotajlo and William Saunders also left one after another.

Business Insider assessed that, after the overthrow of Sam Altman last year, although this CEO has returned, OpenAI's senior management has not yet stabilized.

Those who left largely felt that OpenAI had lost sight of its original mission, becoming less interested in developing AI and more focused on products that would make quick money.

Recently, Elon Musk also re-filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in US federal court because he believed that Altman put commercial interests above public interests.
