According to Odaily, OpenAI is increasingly likely to change its complex corporate structure. Earlier this week, reports indicated that the company is in talks to raise $6.5 billion at a pre-money valuation of $150 billion. Reuters has now reported that this deal hinges on OpenAI's ability to restructure and remove the profit cap for investors. Additionally, Fortune reported that co-founder and CEO Sam Altman informed employees during a company-wide meeting that OpenAI's structure is likely to change next year, making it more akin to a traditional for-profit enterprise. Currently, OpenAI's for-profit arm is controlled by a nonprofit organization, a setup that appears to be disappointing investors. In a statement, OpenAI said, 'We remain focused on building AI that benefits everyone. As we have previously stated, we are working with the board to ensure we can achieve our mission in the best possible way. The nonprofit organization is central to our mission and will continue to exist.'#OpenAI #Restructure #ProfitModel #InvestorConcerns #TraditionalForProfit #Funding #AI #SamAltman #CorporateStructure
🚀 Musk's Lawsuit Against OpenAI Set for Jury Trial in 2026

According to PANews, a U.S. federal judge has scheduled a jury trial for the lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against artificial intelligence company OpenAI to commence in the spring of 2026. The decision was made by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers of the Northern District of California, who last month rejected Musk's request to halt OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model and suggested expediting the proceedings.
This development marks a new chapter in the legal battle between Musk, the world's richest person, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The two parties had previously agreed to accelerate the trial concerning OpenAI's shift to a profit-driven approach. Musk co-founded OpenAI with Altman in 2015 but left before the company gained significant traction. In 2023, Musk founded a rival company, xAI.
In April of this year, xAI acquired Musk's social media platform X for $33 billion, aligning its valuation with that of X's co-investors. This acquisition has allowed Musk's AI company to share its valuation with the investors of the social media platform.#Musk #OpenAI #Lawsuit #JuryTrial #AI #SamAltman #xAI #ProfitModel #Technology #LegalBattle
