OpenAI merges the ChatGPT and Codex teams, with Brockman assuming product leadership.

According to Beating Monitor, OpenAI has announced an internal executive restructuring, consolidating ChatGPT, the AI coding agent Codex, and developer APIs into a single core product team. Co-founder and President Greg Brockman has officially taken over the company’s product strategy while continuing to oversee AI infrastructure. Previously, he had only temporarily assumed this role during Fidji Simo’s medical leave as head of AGI deployment. In an internal memo, he stated that the product lines are naturally converging, and the merger aims to concentrate resources on agents. There has also been a comprehensive reshuffling of leadership for core business lines: • Thibault Sottiaux, former head of Codex, has been promoted to lead the core product and platform team. He is currently spearheading the development of a super-app designed to unify Codex, ChatGPT, and the Atlas browser into a single desktop experience. • Nick Turley, who led ChatGPT to over 900 million weekly active users, has transitioned to head of enterprise products and is fully stepping away from consumer-facing initiatives. • Former Instagram Vice President Ashley Alexander has taken over the consumer products division. This streamlining of product lines aims to better compete with Anthropic in the coding space and to clarify OpenAI’s business structure ahead of its planned IPO this year.
