Investing.com – According to The Information, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees on Tuesday that he will no longer directly oversee the company’s safety and security teams, instead focusing on fundraising, supply chain management, and building data centers at an unprecedented scale.

Altman announced this organizational change as OpenAI completed the initial development of its next major AI model, codenamed Spud. The company will shut down the Sora AI video mobile app, which employees said consumed significant computing resources during increased competition with rivals like Anthropic and Google.

The decision to shut down the Sora mobile app reflects internal concerns about resource allocation, especially as the company competes with other major AI developers for computing power.
