Lilian Weng 本周宣布因健康因素離開 AI 新創公司 Thinking Machines。隨後,OpenAI 向 TechCrunch 確認,她已重新加入公司,並將負責一個以內部研究加速的高階團隊。

將負責跨研究協作

OpenAI 表示,這支團隊的任務是支援內部不同研究方向之間的協作,重點之一是推動「遞歸自我改進」相關工作。此方向指的是讓 AI 系統能基於自身輸出持續迭代,進而提升能力。

Weng 先前曾在 OpenAI 擔任 AI 安全研究副總裁。這次回歸,意味著她將重新進入 OpenAI 的核心研究體系,並承擔更偏內部統籌的職責。

離開 Thinking Machines 後轉投舊東家

Weng 早期對外表示,自己離開 Thinking Machines 的原因與健康有關。她是這家公司的共同創辦人之一,因此這次很快就轉回 OpenAI,也引發外界對其職業安排變化的關注。

TechCrunch 在報導中提到,相較於共同創辦人角色,回到一家成熟機構任職,可能意味著她不必承擔同等強度的直接經營壓力。不過,在 AI 實驗室爭奪核心人才持續升溫的背景下,這次人事流動仍受到關注。

Mira Murati公開表示支持

Thinking Machines 聯合創始人、前 OpenAI 技術長 Mira Murati 先前曾在 X 平台回應 Weng 的離職聲明,表示支持她優先考慮健康。

Murati 寫道,團隊將錯過 Weng,並感謝她共同參與建立 Thinking Machines。報導同時提到,目前尚不清楚 Murati 當時是否已知曉 Weng 將重返 OpenAI。
