According to people with direct knowledge of the matter, Mira Murati aimed to rehire Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, reported Bloomberg on November 20. Murati, named interim CEO on Friday, was negotiating with Adam D’Angelo, the CEO of Quora Inc., acting representative of the OpenAI board. The negotiations are private and remain fluid.

After the board fired Sam Altman, Greg Brockman quit the board due to disagreement with the board members. Other employees of the firm also quit in protest of Altman’s exit.
