In the tech world, it has been announced that Jerry Tworek, OpenAI's vice president of research, has officially left the company after serving for nearly seven years. This research expert, known as the "father of reasoning models," led several major projects, including GPT-4, Codex, and the O1/O3 reasoning models. His departure has attracted widespread attention, especially due to the reason he mentioned — a desire to explore research directions that the current environment at OpenAI cannot support.
On social platforms, Tworek shared his difficult decision to leave and reflected on the wonderful times he spent at OpenAI. He said that here, he not only witnessed the rapid development of AI technology but also participated in multiple important breakthroughs in the field of machine learning. Remembering those days when he worked late nights with team members, Tworek expressed deep emotion, saying he was fortunate to work with a group of talented researchers and build what he considered the strongest machine learning team in his mind.
The specific reasons for Tworek's resignation were not detailed, but some analysts believe this may be related to OpenAI's strategic shift towards commercialization and productization. He mentioned that in the future, he hopes to pursue research topics that are difficult to carry out within OpenAI, showing his passion for research and eagerness for new challenges.
In his farewell letter, Tworek expressed deep gratitude to his colleagues and encouraged them to continue striving to advance AI technology. His departure is not only a new starting point in his personal career but may also bring new thoughts and directions to the entire AI research field.
Tworek has left a deep imprint with his contributions in areas such as robotic reinforcement learning and code models. His departure also reminds us that the rapid development of technology often comes with personnel changes and ideological conflicts. In this ever-changing industry, every individual's choice may spark new innovations.
