What was Greg Brockman's role at the company? Is he a tech genius like Ilya? Iam trying to understand how much tech talent Open AI is losing.


He was the CTO of OpenAI, and notably was the CTO of Stripe during its hypergrowth.


LinkedIn says President, Chairman, & Co-Founder. Murati was the CTO. But from his interviews, he sounded more like the CTO.

And often like an individual contributor: "the feeling when you finally localize a bug to a small section of code, and know it's only a matter of time till you've squashed it"

"Greg Brockman, co-founder and president of OpenAI, works 60 to 100 hours per week, and spends around 80% of the time coding. Former colleagues have described him as the hardest-working person at OpenAI."

Greg was the CTO before Murati. Then he was "promoted" to President and Murati replaced him as the CTO.



he seems highly proficient at technical stuff, i remember reading his blog about how he taught him self all the latest ML stuff.


Greg was a critically important IC and the primary author of the distributed training stack.


CTO. Normal computer tech guy, not an AI guy.

The company was formed around Ilya Sutskever.


Probably someone super competent at technical leadership.
