Sam Altman, CEO of Open AI took to X to shower praises on Prafulla Dhariwal – an Indian tech specialist who is a research scientist at OpenAI. In a post Altman wrote: “GPT-4o would not have happened without the vision, talent, conviction, and determination” of Mr Dhariwal. He further said that his efforts, alongside those of many others, “led to what I hope will turn out to be a revolution in how we use computers.”

The young boy is being seen as the leading force behind GPT-4o, OpenAI’s latest innovation. He leads the Omni team at OpenAI. Earlier this week OpenAI unveiled its latest flagship AI model.

Before joining OpenAI, he had short stints as a software engineering intern at Pinterest, a quantitative analyst intern at the D.E. Shaw Group, and an undergraduate researcher at both the Centre for Brain, Mind and Machines and the Computer Visions Group at MIT.
