On Wednesday, Sam Altman was reinstated as CEO of OpenAI after 72 hours of turmoil. But even as the dust settles at the AI firm, a new report by Reuters suggests that the justification of Altman’s removal—that he was “not forthcoming”—may have to do with OpenAI reaching a major milestone in the push towards artificial general intelligence (AGI).

According to the news agency, sources familiar with the situation said researchers sent a letter to the OpenAI board of directors warning of a new AI discovery that could threaten humanity, which then prompted the board to remove Altman from his leadership position.

These unnamed sources told Reuters that OpenAI CTO Mira Murati told employees that the breakthrough, described as “Q Star” or “(Q*),” was the reason for the move against Altman, which was made without participation from board chairman Greg Brockman, who resigned from OpenAI in protest.
