There is no indication that Ilya has left the company, just the board. He seems happy with Sam’s return.

The sentence about Ilya's continued "work relationship" with the company sounds like corpspeak for Ilya is out.

His career at OpenAI is nerfed at best. Trust is broken beyond repair.

He is the master wizard -- no ones knows the tech details and subtle tweaks like him. At least that is what I gather.

The “500 employees” who signed a letter to leave are not worth half as much as Ilya. Good luck to ClosedAI!

To be fair, most of those 500 have less than 8 months of tenure…
