Sutskever, who helped shape the company’s early research direction, will depart later this year. Pachocki, a long‑time engineer and author of key scaling papers, will take over the role, reporting directly to CEO Sam Altman.\n\nThe move could signal a shift toward more production‑focused AI work. Pachocki’s background in large‑scale model optimization may accelerate OpenAI’s push to commercialize newer versions of its models, while Sutskever’s exit removes a vocal advocate for open research.\n\nIn short, OpenAI swaps one veteran researcher for another, a change that may tighten its engineering pipeline and modestly steer its research agenda.","[\"openai\",\"ai-research\",\"leadership\"]","2024-05-14T18:00:00.000Z","2026-06-16T13:29:39.148Z","2026-06-16T13:29:41.977Z","published",null,[24],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Add a concise concluding paragraph summarizing the change and its immediate impact, and ensure the article ends with a clear summary sentence.","resolved",[31,32,33],"openai","ai-research","leadership",[35],{"name":36,"url":37},"OpenAI","https:\u002F\u002Fopenai.com\u002Findex\u002Fjakub-pachocki-announced-as-chief-scientist",0]
