OpenAI reportedly plans to double its workforce to 8,000 employees
OpenAI is reportedly planning to nearly double its workforce to 8,000 employees by the end of 2026, a move that contrasts with layoffs at other tech companies. The expansion will focus on product development, engineering, research, and sales, including "technical ambassadorship" roles. This growth aims to increase competition with rivals like Anthropic and secure new partnerships, including a contract with the Department of Defense and potential deals with private equity firms.
