This is the best summary I could come up with:


OpenAI appears "optimistic" that it can reel its ousted CEO Sam Altman back to the company just a day after he was suddenly pushed out of his role on Friday, The Information reported.

Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon wrote in a memo sent to staff late Saturday night that the company remained "optimistic" that it could bring back Altman and several senior employees who left in light of the CEO's abrupt exit, sources familiar with the situation told the tech news outlet.

Among those senior figures included Greg Brockman, OpenAI's co-founder and president, who announced on X that he was quitting hours after Altman departed.

Three senior researchers — Jakub Pachocki, Aleksander Madry, Szymon Sidor — also had resigned, The Information reported earlier.

Less than a day after Altman, who co-founded the AI startup in 2015, was ousted, investors pushed to convince OpenAI's board to reverse the decision, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Altman's return to OpenAI could potentially mean an impending shake-up of the company's current board members and governance.
