OpenAI is undergoing a leadership shakeup as it pivots towards enterprise AI, resulting in the departure of three senior executives: Kevin Weil, Bill Peebles, and Srinivas Narayanan. Weil, who led the science research initiative, and Peebles, known for the AI video generator Sora, announced their resignations on April 17, 2026. These changes follow a broader strategy by OpenAI to discontinue several side projects, including Sora and OpenAI for Science, as it focuses on its core enterprise applications. The company has recently raised $122 billion in funding, achieving a valuation of $852 billion, and is reportedly preparing for an initial public offering (IPO). OpenAI is also working on a 'Super App' that aims to consolidate its various AI offerings, including the ChatGPT chatbot and Codex coding tool. The leadership changes are part of a significant restructuring as OpenAI aims to streamline its efforts and enhance its focus on developing advanced AI technologies.
