OpenAI co-founder and President Greg Brockman said he’s departing from the maker of generative artificial intelligence tools just hours after the board pushed out chief executive officer Sam Altman.

“I’m super proud of what we’ve all built together since starting in my apartment eight years ago,” Brockman wrote in a post on the social media site X. “We’ve been through tough and great times together, accomplishing so much despite all the reasons it should have been impossible.
