OpenAI Merges ChatGPT And Codex, Taps Greg Brockman To Lead Product Strategy Ahead Of Potential IPO: Repo

OpenAI is merging ChatGPT, Codex and its developer API into one product team as Brockman takes over strategy and Sottiaux gets a broader role.

  • On Friday, OpenAI president Greg Brockman officially took the reins of the company's product strategy, solidifying his role overseeing the merger of ChatGPT and Codex into a unified agentic platform.
  • Amid competitive pressure from Anthropic and Google, CEO Sam Altman declared a "code red" last year to refocus on core products, halting "side quests" like Sora and OpenAI for Science.
  • Thibault Sottiaux will lead the core product team while head of enterprise products Nick Turley shifts roles, folding ChatGPT and Codex into one platform serving more than 900 million weekly active users.
  • In a staff memo, Brockman said, "We're consolidating our product efforts to execute with maximum focus toward the agentic future, to win across both consumer and enterprise." This occurs during CEO of AGI deployment Fidji Simo's continued medical leave.
  • Leadership aims to simplify product offerings and drive profitability ahead of a potential IPO later this year, pivoting resources toward a single agentic platform to compete in both consumer and enterprise markets.
