TechFlow — According to Bloomberg, over 700 of OpenAI's 770 employees have signed an open letter demanding the board resign and reinstate Sam Altman as CEO, warning that otherwise they will collectively follow Altman to Microsoft.
The letter states that Microsoft "has guaranteed positions for all OpenAI employees." Altman’s dismissal has also created uncertainty about OpenAI’s future.
Earlier reports indicated that Thrive Capital was involved in acquiring shares from OpenAI employees, with OpenAI’s valuation reaching $86 billion. As of last weekend, the company had not yet transferred funds, and stated that Altman’s departure would impact its actions. According to a person familiar with the matter, some investors are considering writing down the value of their OpenAI shares to zero.
