OpenAI and Microsoft signed a “nonbinding” deal to turn OpenAI’s for-profit arm into a public benefit company.
The nonprofit board still stays in charge and now holds a stake worth more than $100B.
Becoming a public benefit company lets OpenAI raise more money and eventually go public.
OpenAI is quietly reducing its reliance on Microsoft by cutting massive cloud deals with Oracle and SoftBank.

Perplexity just raised $200M at a $20B valuation, only two months after its last round.
The startup already makes nearly $200M a year in revenue, despite being only three years old.
They even tried to buy Google Chrome for $34.5B to get distribution.
The strategy is simple: be the next in line if Google search starts to lose dominance.
Mira Murati’s new lab is trying to fix a core problem: AI models give different answers each time.
Their research says this randomness comes from the way Nvidia chips process responses.
If solved, AI could give consistent answers, making it more reliable for businesses and scientists.
The big test is whether they can turn this technical fix into a real product worth $12B.
