Recently, it has been reported that OpenAI co-founder John Schulman has joined the new startup of former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, just five months after leaving the AI company Anthropic. According to Fortune magazine, Schulman's specific role has not been disclosed, and Murati has maintained a high level of secrecy regarding the progress of her new company since leaving OpenAI.

Although Murati's new company is still shrouded in mystery, her influence and expertise in the AI field undoubtedly lay a strong foundation for the future development of the new venture. Schulman's addition also brings significant talent to the team, and there are high hopes for their potential to drive more innovative breakthroughs in the AI industry.
