Sam Altman's resignation as chairman of Oklo will allow OpenAI to pursue a power deal with the nuclear startup, potentially enhancing profitability for both companies. Although he stepped down without any conflicts, his exit allows OpenAI to engage with Oklo more freely. Altman still holds a stake in Oklo and could profit if the companies collaborate in powering OpenAI's data centers. Moreover, as OpenAI shifts towards becoming a for-profit entity, Altman could gain equity, increasing his financial interests in both ventures.
Altman's decision to step down as chairman of nuclear energy startup Oklo could set the OpenAI CEO up to maximize his potential to profit from both companies.
If OpenAI makes a deal to power a data center with one of Oklo's nuclear reactors, payments will be made to Oklo and returned to shareholders, which will include him.
With Altman's departure, it may make it easier for Oklo and OpenAI to partner without added complexities posed by his role on the Board.
OpenAI is ramping up its data center business as it relies less on Microsoft, a major investor that, until recently, had served as its sole cloud provider.
