San Francisco police arrested a suspect Friday morning in connection with a Molotov cocktail attack at the home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, according to the company and law enforcement officials.

The incident occurred when an individual allegedly threw the incendiary device at Altman's San Francisco residence. The Molotov cocktail burned an exterior gate of the house, police said. It remains unclear whether Altman was home at the time of the attack.

Following the attack on the residence, the suspect allegedly proceeded to OpenAI's San Francisco headquarters, where they made threats outside the building, the company said in a statement.

OpenAI confirmed that no one was injured in either incident. "Thankfully, no one was hurt," the company said in its statement regarding the attack.

The suspect was taken into custody by San Francisco police early Friday morning. Authorities have not released details about the individual's identity or potential motives for the attack.

The incident comes as Altman, who leads the artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT, has become one of the most prominent figures in the rapidly evolving AI industry.
