Microsoft's premature release of GPT-4 test in India contributed to Sam Altman's ouster from OpenAI: WSJ report

Economic Times · 2m

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, was dismissed due to undisclosed issues, with Microsoft's unauthorized testing of GPT-4 in India, without board approval, being a factor. The breach was not mentioned during a critical six-hour meeting. Altman returned shortly after, supported by employees and executives. Concerns also arose regarding OpenAI's Startup Fund and communication gaps, including the unannounced launch of ChatGPT, which impacted the board's trust and led to senior-level exits.
