OpenAI withdraws and changes stock rules — the talent war in AI is at its peak
OpenAI has just eliminated the policy that blocked stock options for employees who left the company within 6 months. The reason? Simple: the competition for talent in artificial intelligence has turned into an open war.
With Big Techs and startups competing for elite engineers and researchers, holding professionals by force has stopped working. Now, those who do not offer freedom, real incentives, and long-term alignment will fall behind.
This change exposes a clear truth:
in the AI race, the most scarce asset is not capital, but people.
The market has changed.
The rules have changed.
And those who do not adapt will lose talent.
What do you think?
Does this flexibility strengthen or weaken OpenAI in the long run?
