Microsoft has lost an AI expert and OpenAI gain one , after the former ’s VP of generative AI inquiry , Sebastien Bubeck , left for the latter . The Informationfirst reported the move , andReuters also confirmedthe loss with Microsoft .
We know Bubeck as one of the independent authors of paper describingMicrosoft ’s Phi models , a series of extra - modest linguistic communication and visual modality models intended to help promote AI applications to edge devices . That kind of expertise is progressively important as large , centralised theoretical account like OpenAI ’s GPT-4o give way in some market to on - gadget models that exploit quickly , in private , and offline .
While Bubeck ’s new part at OpenAI is still a whodunit , it seems potential he ’ll be working on the efficiency and small - model side of things — a corner of the AI earth where OpenAI is currently less prominent .
