這個是Altman的原話

The day before the launch of GPT-5, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman surprised employees with a message in the company’s Slack.

“As we mentioned a few weeks ago, we have been looking at comp for our technical teams given the movement in the market,” wrote Altman, according to a copy of the message that was shared with me. He announced that OpenAI would give a “special one-time award” to researchers and software engineers in a handful of orgs, including applied engineering, scaling, and safety.

“We very much intend to keep increasing comp as we keep doing better and better as a company,” he wrote. “But we wanted to be transparent about this one since it’s a new thing for us.” He then thanked employees for their “excellent work towards building AGI.”

The bonus amount for each qualifying employee will vary based on role and seniority, according to my sources. The highest payouts will be in the mid, single-digit millions for OpenAI’s most coveted researchers, all of whom already make millions per year. Engineers, meanwhile, are expected to receive bonuses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on average. The bonuses will be paid out every quarter over the next two years, with the option to receive the money in OpenAI stock, cash, or a mix of both. Roughly 1,000 employees, or about one-third of OpenAI’s full-time workforce, qualify.
