PANews December 26 news, according to The Information, OpenAI CEO Altman plans to transform OpenAI from a non-profit organization into a for-profit company, with Microsoft being a key obstacle in this process. Microsoft has committed over $13 billion to OpenAI and has significant influence in the restructuring. The core topics of negotiation between the two parties since October of last year include: Microsoft's equity in the for-profit entity, whether to continue as OpenAI's exclusive cloud service provider, the duration of Microsoft's use of OpenAI's intellectual property, and Microsoft's right to extract 20% from OpenAI's revenue. If OpenAI fails to complete the transformation within two years, investors could recover $7.2 billion plus interest, putting pressure on the company. In addition, OpenAI plans to repurchase some employee shares after the transformation, which has led employees to hope for a swift completion of the change.
