Someone help me understand OpenAI’s situation. If Sutskever remains at the company, OpenAi can continue to improve its ChatGPT models and produce model 5.0?

What leverage does Microsoft does have over OpenAi? Can Microsoft shut off access to their hardware to support Altman? Why would Microsoft want this?

the biggest leverage is the billions in compute that Microsoft holds over OpenAI. Without this compute they can't run most of the experiments to get number five before others, who are very close, especially Anthropic.

I think the more important question is: Is Sutskever interested in a model 5.0 anytime soon? If he really ousted Sam A. because he thought they moved "too fast" wouldn't he rather work on making 4.0 "more secure" (whatever that means) instead of producing a 5.0?

Which is weird because Nvidia/TSMC must have some leverage over MS there and could ship out containers of their big cluster units.

Also AWS could be the sugar daddy.
