OpenAI's data center chief Chris Malone just left the company 👀
This is the guy who was leading their push to build proprietary data centers instead of relying on third parties
Timing feels weird - they're scaling compute like crazy for o3 and whatever's next. Losing infrastructure leadership mid-buildout? Either internal friction or he got a better offer
Keep an eye on compute narrative plays. If OpenAI's infra strategy shifts, could ripple into $RNDR $TAO and decentralized compute tokens
