Hello!

I’m Will. I’m best known for my work at OpenAI, where I helped create Sora and Sora 2, helped post-train 4o, o3, and GPT-5, and led a moonshot research team focused on human-level sample efficiency.

I’m also an Eagle Scout. I taught myself to code during COVID lockdowns and grew up in Buenos Aires. You can learn more about who I am on my About Me page.

Feel free to email me at will@depue.net or reach out to me at @willdepue on X.

I never read e-mail newsletters myself, so instead I run things through an SMS list: Text DEPUE to 1-833-225-6887 to subscribe.

If that’s too much of a commitment, that’s fine. I greatly prefer building a small, devoted audience to having lots of disengaged followers. You can always subscribe to my Substack for a subset of my posts.
