Research Engineer Tibo Sottiaux posted that OpenAI's culture is best described as a mega startup visible only from inside, defined by extreme ownership, care and pace. Vaibhav Srivastav replied that the culture lets people do things, with low-ego and mission-oriented colleagues showing an insane bias for action. Romain Huet, a former founder, agreed the pace feels special when teams ship what they care about. Thomas Ricouard said extreme ownership is an understatement. Cullen replied that definitions of care differ substantially.

Tibo@thsottiauxI think the best way to describe OpenAI's culture is as a mega startup. It's hard to believe unless you see it from the inside. Extreme ownership, care and pace.
Nikhil Jha@nikhilxverse@thsottiaux So when are we removing or at least making the 5hr limit optional for Plus users?
Cullen@cullendWe have substantially different definitions of "care"
Romain Huet@romainhuetAs a former founder, this rings really true. There’s something special about the pace, and OpenAI is at its best when everyone comes together to ship something they care deeply about.
Thomas Ricouard@DimillianExtreme ownership is an understatement.
Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav@reach_vbYou can just do things! That’s how I sum up the culture at OpenAI Almost all the folks I’ve worked with are low-ego, mission oriented and most importantly have an insane bias for action - I love it!!
