Progress reports have indicated a shift in OpenAI’s corporate structure towards a For-Profit model from its current Non-Profit governance, partly due to a recent injection of capital. According to Bloomberg, sources familiar with the matter revealed that OpenAI has engaged in discussions with the California state authorities regarding the restructuring process. Initial information suggests that the Non-Profit entity will continue to exist, but will hold a minority stake in the emerging For-Profit business.
Previously, there were reports on the complexity involved in restructuring the company, particularly with Microsoft being a major shareholder in the original For-Profit business, which will need to be transitioned into shares in the new entity accordingly.
