\"<p>UdayUday RuddarrajuOpenAI<\/a> on Monday said it has appointed Uday Ruddarraju<\/a> as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO<\/a>), Compute, as the company accelerates investments in infrastructure to support the development of frontier artificial intelligence<\/a> models.<\/p>\n

Announcing the move in a LinkedIn post, Ruddarraju said he was \u201cexcited\u201d to take on the new role after completing his first year at OpenAI.<\/p>\n

He said the company\u2019s Compute team<\/a> had worked to rapidly expand computing capacity while developing the systems required to train frontier models, including GPT-5.6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first 12 months at OpenAI have been incredibly rewarding. Our Compute team has worked relentlessly to bring capacity online quickly and reliably, while doing the deep systems across compute, network and storage, and ML work needed to train frontier models like GPT-5.6. As we scale, the problems only get harder that require pushing the frontiers and innovating across every layer (literally) of the stack,\u2019 Ruddarraju wrote in the LinkedIn post.<\/p>\n

He added that OpenAI aims to build the world\u2019s largest compute footprint to make frontier AI<\/a> widely accessible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re on a mission to build the world\u2019s largest compute footprint so frontier AI can reach everyone and every workflow. We have a very exciting compute ramp and roadmap coming up. There is a lot to build across large scale distributed systems, hardware, manufacturing, and data center builds spanning civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering. We\u2019re hiring exceptional people across the stack,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
