    @TobyPhln ... xAI is xAI in so many ways because of your contributions big and small. I'm incredibly grateful for everything you've done. You created a future that would not have existed without your efforts.

    Three years, thousands of PRs, and a million jokes. Today was my last day @xai. To the team: you rock, no one burns the midnight oil better. To @elonmusk, thanks for taking me on board. I've learnt more about execution, speed, and product perfectionism than I could ever have

    That's another cofounder out at xAI. Seven out of the 11 cofounders that launched the startup with Musk have left the company and five of them in the last year. I wrote about some of the recent changes at xAI last week: https://www.businessinsider.com/ ...

    @TobyPhln ... This is a huge shock, personally, for the London team, and for xAI. It's cliche to say “xAI would not be the same without you” but in this case it's literally true. Building xAI together has been the experience of a lifetime, godspeed and now take care of yourself!
  • @ibab Igor Babuschkin on x
    @TobyPhln ... Thank you for everything you've done. From coming up with the xAI logo, to building out the API platform, to building the London team, one of the best engineering teams I've ever encountered. The legend of Toby will live on forever 🫡

    @TobyPhln ... 10x engineer, leader and human being. Thank you for bringing me on this journey with you, it has been truly life changing. Wishing you all the best in all that you do. 🫡

    @TobyPhln @xai Thanks for helping get xAI to where it is
  • @belce_dogru @belce_dogru on x
    @TobyPhln ... This is extremely sad to hear. There are very few engineers in the world of your caliber. xAI wouldn't be where it is today without you. I'm incredibly honored to have worked with you, Toby. Thank you for bringing me onboard and for your mentorship from day 1.
