OpenAI was employed by Mike LiberatoreFormer head of finance at XAI Elona Musk to serve as a new business finance officer. His work? Keeping the cost of the company's AI infrastructure and making sure that computing taps are not dry.
Liberatore will report directly to CFO Sarah Friar and will cooperate with Greg Brockman's syndrome when Opeli doubles the scale of resources.
Now, if the name sounds familiar, it should – Liberatore only recently left Xai after a short period, but not before controlling a huge debt increase of $ 5 billion and a matching capital investment.
It is a CV movement, which OPENAI signals not only chases AI brains, but also hunts for financial scales that know how to keep lights in the era of multi -million GPU clusters.
What makes this juicy story. Musk, a co -founder of Opeli, spent most of the last year entangled in legal clashes with the company.
His lawsuits accused OpenAi of drifting from the mission, while OpenAi fired with a counterattack, demanding harassment. Against this background, bringing a former musk lieutenant looks less like a coincidence, and more like a statement.
And let's not ignore a wider stage. The race about dominating AI is bleeding in finance, and titans like Goldman Sachs Implementing AI generative assistants in tens of thousands of employees to shave costs and accelerate decision making.
At the same time, regulatory bodies from California to India warn that AI's financial trail – regardless of compliance, loans or infrastructure investments – above all fresh handrails.
Here is my opinion: the OpenAI movement does not apply to only one director. It's about sending messages to rivals, investors and even regulatory bodies:
“We are ready to manage like a trillion industry.” Whether self -confidence pays off or turns into Hubris is a story that is still waiting for writing.
