OpenAI said last night that it "reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO." > Altman had accepted a job on Sunday from Microsoft, a major investor in OpenAI. Microsoft also offered to hire OpenAI's employees, who threatened to resign en masse if Altman wasn't brought back. According to Altman, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella supported his return to OpenAI.
