The farcical drama that OpenAI’s internal upheaval has become reaches its anticlimactic conclusion with everything staying the same yet changing entirely. OpenAI has announced it reached a preliminary agreement with Sam Altman for his return to his former position as CEO, supported by former SalesForce CEO Bret Taylor as his right-hand man and with the backing of Satya Nadella.

The news comes after Altman’s expulsion from the company due to a loss of trust led to the resignation of Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s co-founder, and the signing of a collective letter that would have meant the resignation of 95% of the staff. The chaos escalated to the point where the interim CEO appointed by the board stated his intention to resign if nobody clarified the reasons for Altman’s dismissal.

Microsoft, theoretically positioned to benefit greatly from Altman and his employees’ departure (their hiring would have effectively meant buying OpenAI at a low price and without regulatory oversight), appears satisfied with this apparent resolution, especially considering its 49% ownership of the company. According to Nadella, “Sam, Greg, and I have spoken and agreed that they will have a key role in the leadership of OpenAI,” all in pursuit of a “more stable, well-informed, and effective direction.”
