OpenAI veteran csvoss departs, colleagues look back on the GPT-2 era
jachiam0 · x · 2026-10-03
OpenAI researcher csvoss has wrapped up her run at OpenAI, drawing farewell posts from colleagues. Her own thread recalls joining in 2019, when GPT-2 was the frontier: a transformer producing surprisingly coherent but factually wrong, dreamlike text. She judged then that scaling GPT-2 would be revolutionary — a call that proved correct. jachiam0's reply congratulates her on the run and whatever comes next.
