BlockBeats reported that OpenAI is likely to undergo significant changes to its corporate structure, a move that has been anticipated amid ongoing talks to raise $6.5 billion in funding. The company’s current pre-investment valuation is estimated at $150 billion, but the deal is contingent on whether OpenAI can restructure and eliminate profit caps for investors.

According to Reuters, the restructuring would involve shifting away from OpenAI’s existing model, where its for-profit arm is controlled by a nonprofit entity. This hybrid structure was initially designed to balance innovation with ethical considerations, but it appears to have frustrated investors, who are seeking a clearer path to financial returns.

Fortune also reported that OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman informed employees during a company-wide meeting that the organization’s structure is likely to change next year. Altman hinted that OpenAI would adopt a more traditional for-profit model, aligning more closely with investor expectations and simplifying operations.

This potential shift would mark a significant turning point for OpenAI, as it navigates the challenge of maintaining its ethical mission while meeting the demands of high-profile investors eager to capitalize on the company’s rapid growth and innovation in artificial intelligence.
