OpenAI Computing Chief Sachin Katti to Depart After About One Year at the Company

Sachin Katti, OpenAI's computing chief responsible for the company's compute infrastructure efforts, is set to leave the company next month after roughly one year in the role, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Katti had joined OpenAI from Intel, where he served as Chief Technology Officer and head of AI before departing for the AI startup in late 2025.

Katti's tenure at OpenAI lasted approximately one year, making his exit notable given the strategic importance of compute infrastructure to the company's AI development ambitions. No successor was named in the initial reports.
