Greg Brockman (born 1988 or 1989) is an American entrepreneur, investor and software developer who is a co-founder[2] and currently the president of OpenAI.[3] He began his career at Stripe in 2010, upon leaving MIT, and became their CTO[4] in 2013. He left Stripe in 2015[5] to co-found OpenAI, where he also assumed the role of CTO.[6][7][8][9]
Early life and education
Brockman was born in Thompson, North Dakota, and attended Red River High School, where he excelled in mathematics, chemistry, and computer science.[6][10] He won a silver medal in the 2006 International Chemistry Olympiad[11] and became the first finalist from North Dakota to participate in the Intel science talent search since 1973.[12] In 2007, he attended the 58th Annual Canada/USA Mathcamp, a summer program for mathematically talented high-school students.[13] In 2008, Brockman enrolled in Harvard University, but left only a year later, before briefly enrolling at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[6][14]
Career
In 2010, he dropped out of MIT to join Stripe, Inc., a company founded by Patrick Collison, an MIT classmate, and his brother, John Collison. In 2013, he became Stripe's first-ever CTO, and grew the company from 5 to 205 employees.[8][15] Brockman left Stripe in May 2015, and co-founded OpenAI[16] in December 2015 with Elon Musk and Sam Altman.[15][17]
Brockman helped create the OpenAI founding team, and led various prominent projects early on at OpenAI, including OpenAI Gym and OpenAI Five, a Dota 2 bot.[18][19][8][20]
On February 14, 2019, OpenAI announced that they had developed a new large language model called GPT-2,[21] but kept it private due to their concern for its potential misuse. They finally released the model to a limited group of beta testers in May 2019.[6][22]
On March 14, 2023, in a live video demo, Brockman unveiled GPT-4,[23][24] the fourth iteration in the GPT series, and the newest language model created by OpenAI.[7][25][26][27]
Personal life
In November 2019, Brockman married his long-time girlfriend, Anna.[6]
