This suggests that a real schism is occurring at OpenAI. I anticipate hearing of two different philosophies at play.

It would be interesting if Altman and Brockman, assuming that they want accelerated development, ended up in some high level roles at Microsoft. That seems like a win-win-win all the way around since OpenAI could follow their new path, Microsoft and Google could build new things fast, and the open model proponents can keep up their good work.

Except for a clumsy fast press release, this doesn’t really have to end badly for anyone.

Even though I have been an OpenAI fan every since I used their earliest public APIs, I am also very happpy that there is such a rich ecosystem, other commercial players like Anthropic, open model support from Meta and Hugging Face, and the increasingly wonderful small models like Mistral that can be easily run at home.

Sam Altman is not the kind of person that goes into a bigco management job. He'll be doing another startup come Monday.
