In a few tumultuous days last week, OpenAI ousted its CEO and founder Sam Altman without any detailed cause, setting off alarm bells among investors and employees.
Microsoft, which has invested more than $10 billion in OpenAI, is one of the biggest backers of OpenAI that operates ChatGPT, its viral generative AI chatbot.
In response to a question on the OpenAI board, a Microsoft spokesperson said, "We will wait until the board officially says something."
OpenAI and Thrive did not immediately respond to requests for comment, while Khosla declined to comment.
