A growing number of former OpenAI employees are launching startups focused on the artificial intelligence (AI) boom.
One startup, Periodic Labs, founded by former OpenAI VP Liam Fedus and ex-Google DeepMind scientist Ekin Dogus Cubuk, focuses on AI for material science.
Another startup by ex-OpenAI employees Rhythm Garg, Linden Li, and Yash Patil is centered on reinforcement learning.
Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati started Thinking Machines Lab, while ex-chief scientist Ilya Sutskever raised billions for an AI research lab.
