Greg Brockman, co-founder and president of OpenAI, is now officially leading the company's product strategy, as reported by Wired. This move formalizes a role he had already been filling on an interim basis, overseeing OpenAI's products while Fidji Simo—the company's CEO of AGI deployment—is on medical leave. According to Wired, Brockman shared in a staff memo his vision to merge ChatGPT with the programming tool Codex into a single, unified experience. "We're consolidating our product efforts to execute with maximum focus toward the agentic future, to win across both consumer and enterprise," Brockman reportedly stated.

This development marks the latest in a series of shifts at OpenAI, following CEO Sam Altman's declaration of a "code red" late last year. Altman emphasized that the company needed to refocus on its core ChatGPT experience. In response, OpenAI has paused several "side quests," including the video generator Sora and the OpenAI for Science initiative, while highlighting its ambition to build an AI "super app." The company confirmed to Wired that Simo, who remains on medical leave, collaborated with Brockman on these strategic changes.
