Per Bloomberg, OpenAI has handed the infrastructure business previously run by Sachin Katti to compute CTO Uday Ruddarraju. Katti will leave the role in the coming weeks and stay on as an adviser, roughly a year after joining from Intel in November 2025. Ruddarraju came from xAI in July 2025, where he led infrastructure engineering for xAI and X. The move consolidates compute and infrastructure leadership under one executive, underscoring how central compute is to OpenAI's strategy.
