• Ilya Sutskever, a cofounder of OpenAI, is leaving the company for undisclosed reasons.
• According to Altman, Jakub Pachocki takes over for Sutskever, having led several of OpenAI’s most significant initiatives.
• Sutskever reportedly had a major influence on Sam Altman’s November dismissal as CEO.

Sam Altman’s dismissal from OpenAI is being reexamined in light of the news that Ilya Sutskever, the company’s top scientist and cofounder, is leaving after ten years of service.

Since then, the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has confirmed the change and added that Jakub Pachocki will replace Sutskever as the new Chief Scientist. After overseeing “many of our most important projects,” Pachocki is hardly a newcomer to the company, as Altman notes. “I am very confident he will lead us to make rapid and safe progress towards our mission of ensuring that AGI benefits everyone,” Altman continues.

Sutskever’s position has been precarious ever since the attempted usurpation of Altman in November, amid reports that he played a key role in the failed attempt. Following the attempt to remove Altman as CEO, Business Insider had reported in December, citing two people familiar with the business, that Sutskever had effectively been locked out of OpenAI.
