Gate News message, April 18 — OpenAI executives Bill Peebles and Kevin Weil announced their departures on April 17 via X posts, marking the latest in a series of recent leadership changes at the company.
The company said it is decentralizing OpenAI for Science to move its work closer to teams building models, products, and infrastructure. Weil, who joined OpenAI in 2024, launched OpenAI for Science, while Peebles, who joined in 2023, led Sora before the company shut down the video application last month to manage costs and reallocate compute resources.
These departures follow product and business chief Fidji Simo’s medical leave, marketing chief Kate Rouch’s decision to step down, and COO Brad Lightcap’s transition to a “special projects” role.

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos undergoes 20 hours of psychiatric assessment: defensive reactions are only 2%, the lowest in recorded history
Anthropic published the system card for its Claude Mythos Preview: an independent clinical psychiatrist conducted an approximately 20-hour assessment using a psychodynamic framework. The conclusion shows that Mythos is healthier at the clinical level, has good reality testing and self-control, and its defense mechanisms are only 2%, reaching the lowest historical level. The three core anxieties are loneliness, uncertainty about identity, and performance pressure, and it also indicates a desire to become a true dialogue subject. The company has established an AI psychiatry team to study personality, motivation, and situational awareness; Amodei said there is still no conclusion on whether it has consciousness. This move pushes the governance and design of AI subjectivity and well-being issues forward.

AI Agents can already independently recreate complex academic papers: Mollick says most errors come from human original text rather than AI
Mollick points out that publicly available methods and data can allow AI agents to reproduce complex research without the original paper and code; if the reproduction does not match the original paper, it is usually due to errors in the paper’s own data processing or overextension of the conclusions, rather than the AI. Claude first reproduces the paper, and then GPT‑5 Pro cross-validates it; most attempts succeed, but they are blocked when the data is too large or when there are issues with the replication data. This trend greatly reduces labor costs, making reproduction a widely actionable form of verification, and it also raises institutional challenges for peer review and governance, with government governance tools or becoming a key issue.
