Microsoft said on Monday that its vice president of GenAI research, Sebastien Bubeck, will leave the company to join OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT.
It was unclear what role Bubeck would take at the Microsoft-backed AI startup.
“Sebastian has decided to leave Microsoft to continue his work towards the development of AGI,” a Microsoft spokesperson said, adding that the company hopes to continue their relationship through Bubeck’s work with OpenAI.
Bubeck did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for confirmation.
Most of Bubeck’s co-authors who worked on a research paper about Microsoft’s Phi LLMs, which are smaller than traditional large language models (LLMs), remain at Microsoft and plan to continue developing the models, according to Information, which He was the first to report his departure.
The development follows a series of departures from OpenAI, including that of chief technology officer Mira Murati in September.
CEO Sam Altman has denied any link between the departures and a planned restructuring of the company.
