Greg Brockman is taking over OpenAI's product strategy, consolidating efforts like ChatGPT and Codex. This follows a "code red" declared by CEO Sam Altman to refocus on ChatGPT and a halt to "side quests" like Sora.
OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman is officially taking the reins of the company’s product strategy, according to Wired.
This seems to solidify an already-existing change, with Brockman overseeing OpenAI’s products on an interim basis while the company’s CEO of AGI deployment Fidji Simo is out on medical leave. Wired also reports that in a staff memo, Brockman described plans to combine ChatGPT and its programming product Codex into a single unified experience.
“We’re consolidating our product efforts to execute with maximum focus toward the agentic future, to win across both consumer and enterprise,” Brockman reportedly said.
OpenAI told TechCrunch that although Simo remains on medical leave she worked with Brockman on these changes. It also noted that OpenAI has already been talking about plans to combine ChatGPT, Codex, and its API into a single platform, with one core product team.
At the end of last year, CEO Sam Altman declared a “code red” and said the company needs to refocus on the core ChatGPT experience. Since then, OpenAI has halted “side quests” including video generator Sora and OpenAI for Science.
