Where Have OpenAI’s Founders Gone?

• Just two of OpenAI’s 11 founding team members remain active, following a series of departures after a boardroom coup against CEO Sam Altman in November.
• Three co-founders have left this year, including John Schulman, who joined rival Anthropic, and Greg Brockman, who announced an extended leave.
• The high turnover rate, especially among senior figures, has raised questions about the $86bn company's direction amid fierce competition from Google and Anthropic.
• Some founders have joined rivals or started their own AI companies, while Elon Musk, a former member, has become a vocal critic.
• OpenAI had an unusually large founding team to build an AI supergroup, but recent events have significantly thinned their ranks.
