OpenAI has decided to release the majority of its former employees from non-disparagement agreements linked to their exit contracts and equity. This decision follows concerns raised by employees and a report by Vox. OpenAI has assured that it will not cancel any vested equity of employees who speak out about the company. This policy change comes amid other significant events for OpenAI, including the launch of GPT-4o and a legal dispute with Scarlett Johansson.
