OpenAI executives depart company

Kevin Weil, a member of the management team, and Bill Peebles, the Sora lead, are among the high-profile figures leaving the ChatGPT maker.

The restructuring follows OpenAI's decision to sunset several experimental projects amid rising competition from rivals like Anthropic.

Company leadership has emphasized the need to sharpen its business focus and streamline operations for long-term growth.

These departures signal a significant shift in the company's internal strategy and leadership structure.
