Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, was fired from the $29 billion startup he cofounded on Friday afternoon, a stunning shake up in which the company claimed Altman "was not consistently candid" with the board.
OpenAI's announcement, which was published in a blog post on the company website, did not provide details about Altman's alleged lack of candor. The company said that CTO Mira Murati would replace Altman as interim CEO effective immediately, while a search for a permanent replacement begins.
