Microsoft, after a whopping $13 billion investment in OpenAI last year, has penned a farewell letter, expressing confidence in the company's direction and no longer seeing the need for its observer role. OpenAI, in response, expressed gratitude for Microsoft's vote of confidence. Meanwhile, Apple, rumored to be eyeing an observer role, will also be a no-show. So, it's "OpenAI, party of none" at the board observer's table! 😄 Stay tuned for more updates.
