Recently, the field of artificial intelligence has once again welcomed significant news. OpenAI co-founder John Schulman, after leaving the AI startup Anthropic, is preparing to join the mysterious new company founded by Mira Murati. Schulman spent only five months at Anthropic before choosing to switch jobs, raising interest in his next steps.
According to a report by Fortune magazine, Schulman's role remains unclear, while Murati has kept information about this new venture highly confidential since leaving OpenAI last September. However, industry insiders have revealed that Murati has successfully attracted several former OpenAI employees, including Christian Gibson, who worked on OpenAI's supercomputing team. The composition of this team undoubtedly brings a wealth of technical background and experience to the new company.

In October last year, Murati was rumored to be seeking over $100 million in funding for her company, indicating her great confidence and ambition for its development. As one of the principal architects of ChatGPT, Schulman has expressed his desire to focus more deeply on the alignment issues of artificial intelligence, which refers to the science of ensuring that AI operates as intended, and this is closely related to his recent career choice.
Schulman's decision has led to speculation about what role he will play in the new company and how he will leverage his experience and technical expertise to drive its development. With executives from OpenAI and Anthropic frequently changing jobs, the competition in the AI industry is becoming increasingly intense, raising expectations for what innovations and changes this industry leader will bring to the new company.
In this rapidly evolving field, the collaboration between Schulman and Murati will undoubtedly attract widespread attention, while the exact positioning and future development of their new company will take time to reveal.
