Frontier AI lab building the GPT, o-series, and Sora models. Largest revenue and largest team in the cohort. Hiring is at-scale across research, infrastructure, applied AI, GTM, and trust-and-safety.
Daily crawling started June 15, 2026. The portion of the chart before that date counts only postings that were still open at first crawl — roles that opened and closed earlier aren’t reflected, so the slope of the trend before June 15, 2026 should be read as coverage filling in rather than a hiring surge.
