According to Odaily Planet Daily, people familiar with the matter said that OpenAI is discussing allowing CEO Sam Altman to hold a 7% stake in the company and reorganize it into a for-profit enterprise.

The company is considering becoming a public benefit corporation, a way to help society while making a profit, the people said. The transition is still under discussion and a timetable has not yet been determined.

An OpenAI spokesperson said OpenAI remains "focused on building AI that benefits everyone," adding that the "nonprofit is core to our mission and will continue to exist."
