The Wall Street Journal, citing informed sources, reported that OpenAI has informed its employees of ending its policy that required employees to work for at least six months before vesting their shares... This rule was previously introduced to retain talent within the company. Now, employees will be able to receive their shares in a shorter timeframe. This decision may be related to the company's desire to attract new talent more quickly and adapt to changing conditions in the AI market. However, no official comments from the company have been made yet.
