It is not uncommon for founders to be kicked out of the company, and famously Apple's Steve Jobs once resigned from Apple due to poor product performance.
However, Mr. Altman was the person who led OpenAI to great success, and there were strong calls for his return from within the company and from investors, including CTO Mira Murati, who was appointed by the board of directors as interim CEO to succeed Mr. Altman.
