Greg Brockman (born 1988/89) is an American computer scientist who is the co-founder, CTO, and president at OpenAI.[1][2] He began his career at Stripe in 2010, upon leaving MIT, and became their CTO in 2013. He left Stripe in 2015 to co-found OpenAI.

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.[1] Throughout his time in high school, he took a variety of courses at the nearby University of North Dakota and served as the captain of his high school Science Bowl team.[3] He placed second in the 2006 International Chemistry Olympiad, and became the first finalist from North Dakota to participate in the Intel science talent search since 1973.[4] In 2008, Brockman enrolled in Harvard University, but left only a year later, before briefly enrolling at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[5][6]

Career

In 2010, he dropped out of MIT to join Stripe, 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.[7][8] Brockman left Stripe in May 2015, and founded OpenAI in December 2015 with Elon Musk and Sam Altman.[8][9]

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.[10][11][12][13]

On February 14, 2019, OpenAI announced that they had developed a new large language model called GPT-2, but kept it private due to their concern for its use in unethical ways. They finally released the model to a limited group of beta testers in May 2019.[14][15]

On March 14, 2023, in a live video demo, Brockman unveiled GPT-4, the fourth iteration in the GPT series, and the newest language model created by OpenA.[2][16][17]
