Sam Altman's still the face of OpenAI. Greg Brockman's the hands.
After a year of chaos, jury trials with Elon Musk, an Apple lawsuit, and a wave of executive exits, OpenAI's power structure has quietly shifted. Sam Altman remains CEO and public face, but The Verge reports co-founder Greg Brockman, officially "president," has become the one actually steering day-to-day operations as the company barrels toward an IPO. It's a telling sign of how much OpenAI has changed behind the scenes, even as the drama up front keeps stealing headlines.
Nothing says "stable leadership" like needing a Verge exposé to figure out who's actually in charge.
