<p>The Silicon Valley enterprise, which was facing the prospect of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/openai-staff-threaten-revolt-after-sudden-ouster-of-ceo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">staff revolt</a> and possible <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/openai-investors-consider-suing-board-altmans-ouster" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legal action</a> by investors over the firing, announced an &#8220;agreement in principle&#8221; for Altman&#8217;s return late Tuesday, Pacific time.</p>
<p>Greg Brockman, another co-founder and president of OpenAI <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/17/greg-brockman-quits-openai-after-abrupt-firing-of-sam-altman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who quit</a> after Altman&#8217;s ouster, also <a href="https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1727208843137179915" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he was coming back and &#8220;getting back to coding tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p>Part of the deal, as explained by OpenAI in <a href="https://twitter.com/OpenAI/status/1727206187077370115" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a post to X</a>, involved putting together a &#8220;new initial board&#8221; with former Salesforce.com CEO Bret Taylor as chairman and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers as a member.</p>
<p>The post also said Adam D&#8217;Angelo, co-founder of question-and-answer platform Quora and independent director of the board that fired Altman, would stay on and serve as a member of the new board.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this,&#8221; OpenAI concluded.</p>
<p>Altman, who served as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-chatgpt-openai-ceo-career-net-worth-ycombinator-prepper-2023-1#loopt-was-part-of-the-first-group-of-eight-companies-at-startup-accelerator-y-combinator-each-startup-got-6000-per-founder-and-loopt-was-in-the-same-batch-as-reddit-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">president</a> of startup accelerator Y Combinator and had led OpenAI since 2019, was abruptly let go on Friday.</p>
<p>In announcing the move, the OpenAI&#8217;s board <a href="https://openai.com/blog/openai-announces-leadership-transition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> Altman &#8220;was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.&#8221; The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/21/technology/openai-altman-board-fight.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> there had been tensions between Altman and the board on the issue of striking a balance between artificial intelligence safety and expansion.</p>
<p>A power struggle ensued over the weekend that <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-20/openai-s-murati-aims-to-re-hire-altman-brockman-after-exits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> included the interim CEO — technology chief Mira Murati — trying to to rehire Altman and Brockman while the board <a href="https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/business/money-report/openai-is-hiring-former-twitch-ceo-emmett-shear-to-run-company-two-days-after-ousting-sam-altman/3164254/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">picked</a> former Twitch CEO Emmett Shear to lead the company.</p>
<p>Hundreds of OpenAI employees signed a letter demanding the board of directors resign, get replaced by a new board, and reinstate Altman and Greg Brockman. The employees also said they might follow Altman and Brockman to Microsoft, one of OpenAI&#8217;s investors that <a href="https://apnews.com/article/altman-ai-chatgpt-leadership-microsoft-a110b173c3eff4a374992017f05cd45a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hired</a> the pair to lead an in-house <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">artificial intelligence</a> research unit after their departure from OpenAI.</p>
<p>One person who signed the letter was Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI&#8217;s chief scientist and a member of the company&#8217;s board. &#8220;I deeply regret my participation in the board&#8217;s actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we&#8217;ve built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company,&#8221; Sutskever <a href="https://twitter.com/ilyasut/status/1726590052392956028" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X.</p>
<p>Altman <a href="https://twitter.com/sama/status/1727207458324848883" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> a post to X on Wednesday explaining his view of the situation.</p>
<p>&#8220;i love openai, and everything i’ve done over the past few days has been in service of keeping this team and its mission together. when i decided to join [Microsoft] on sun evening, it was clear that was the best path for me and the team. with the new board and [with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella&#8217;s] support, i’m looking forward to returning to openai, and building on our strong partnership with [Microsoft],&#8221; he said.</p>
