OpenAI data center chief leaves the company as exec exodus continues
OpenAI's data center chief is out after 17 months, and the company had already broken his job into three pieces before he left.
Chris Malone, the head of OpenAI's data centers, recently departed the company after seventeen months. OpenAI announced his exit but did not provide a reason, with the CEO now reporting to Sachin Katti. Malone's responsibilities were divided among three executives and a new CTO for computing capacity. This move is part of a broader shift at OpenAI, as they reportedly consider leasing entire facilities instead of building them.
The news of Malone's departure comes amid a series of high-level executive departures at OpenAI, raising questions about the company's strategic direction and future.
