They fired the ceo and everyone went with him to microsoft. Microsoft's in control of all the compute resources to be delivered to openai, has access to all their tech and got the means to divert compute resources to this new "openai2.0" team that is now under full control of microsoft
Microsoft no longer needs the current "openai", it's gotta be 1 of the most stupid shit the board could've done
So far only a couple of key people have left. Hundreds of staff wrote in support of Sam and said they may leave. Considering the nature of startups a lot of knowledge is probably tribal and oral so whatever happens the openAI team and knowledge base will be fractured from this. It will probably take more than just a couple of months to get back on track, assuming there are no legal challenges either.
If basically the whole company shifts over, that wouldn't be an issue.
