Finance Association News on October 15th (Editor Zhou Ziyi) After the artificial intelligence startup OpenAI recently experienced a "brain drain" of core members, the company has now gained a new artificial intelligence expert.

Former Vice President Sebastian Bubeck, responsible for Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC) research at Microsoft, has now joined OpenAI.

It is worth mentioning that Bubeck is one of the main authors of Microsoft's Phi model paper. The Phi model is a series of ultra-small language and vision models, smaller in scale than traditional large language models, aimed at pushing artificial intelligence applications to edge devices.

Currently, these fast, private, and offline model devices have surpassed OpenAI's large models like GPT-4o in certain markets. Therefore, Bubeck's expertise in small models becomes increasingly important.

While Bubeck's new role at OpenAI has not been disclosed yet, it appears that he will focus on efficient small models, an area that OpenAI has yet to fully explore.

As one of OpenAI's major investors, Microsoft's spokesperson responded that Bubeck will be responsible for researching General Artificial Intelligence (AGI) affairs at OpenAI, and the company hopes that Bubeck's future work will remain connected to Microsoft.

Those who collaborated with Bubeck on researching Microsoft's Phi language large models will continue to stay at Microsoft and work on the development of related models.

OpenAI has recently seen a series of senior executives resign, such as OpenAI's chief scientist Ilya Sutskever recently resigned, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman announced a long-term leave of absence, and OpenAI's chief technology officer Mira Murati also announced her resignation.

Regarding these personnel movements, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has always denied any connection between their resignations and the company's restructuring plans.
