OpenAI Internal Turmoil Deepens: Repeated Restructurings, Employee Exhaustion, Ongoing Executive Departures, IPO Plans Quietly Delayed

OpenAI has undergone nearly five restructurings this year, with a sustained wave of executive departures as Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser became the latest to leave this week. The company also disbanded the safety team responsible for assessing "catastrophic risks" of AI models, raising internal concerns. Despite revenue growing to approximately $40 billion, it has been surpassed by Anthropic. Employees are widely feeling exhausted, and IPO plans have been quietly postponed to next year.
