Summary
Barret Zoph, who leads enterprise AI sales at OpenAI, has left the company after only five months, following his return from a competing AI startup. This departure is notable because OpenAI had recently prioritized enterprise sales as a key business focus ahead of its planned initial public offering (IPO, where a private company sells shares to the public).
