Nadella announced that they recognize OpenAI's decision.

According to the statement made by Satya Nadella, Sam Altman, who was fired from OpenAI, and Greg Brockman, one of the founders of OpenAI, who resigned after the events, will now work at Microsoft. Nadella also spoke about Sam Altman and Greg Brockman's new roles at Microsoft.

We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners.

We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.
