TechFlow news, on December 27, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on social platform X, thanking research teams and leaders who drive innovation. "It's relatively easy to copy something you know works. It's incredibly hard to do something new, risky, and difficult—especially when you don't know if it will succeed. Individual researchers who accomplish this deserve tremendous credit! This is the coolest thing in the world."
"It's also extremely difficult to unite an excellent research team to reach a new peak. This is crucial for driving progress. Thank you to Ilya, Jakub, Bob, Mark, and many other outstanding research leaders who have brought us here. I especially want to thank @MillionInt (Jerry Tworek), who has tirelessly led the Strawberry team—one of the finest leadership demonstrations in OpenAI's history, with even more exciting things ahead."
