OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati said Wednesday she is leaving the company after six and a half years.

“After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to leave OpenAI,” she wrote in a memo to OpenAI, which she also published on X, adding, “There’s never an ideal time to step away from a place one cherishes, yet this moment feels right.”

Murati is the latest in a growing line of high-level execs to depart the high-valued startup. OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever and former safety leader Jan Leike announced their departures in May. Co-founder John Schulman said last month that he was leaving to join rival Anthropic.

Murati also wrote that she is “stepping away because I want to create the time and space to do my own exploration. For now, my primary focus is doing everything in my power to ensure a smooth transition, maintaining the momentum we’ve built.”
