OpenAI, the brain behind ChatGPT, might lose $10 billion in funding if it doesn't go for-profit by year-end.

🚨 Breaking News:
If OpenAI doesn’t convert to a for-profit entity by Dec. 31, its $40 billion funding round could shrink to $30 billion.

Wire Simplified:

  • SoftBank’s $30 billion share would reduce to $20 billion if OpenAI stays nonprofit.

  • Microsoft and other investors' stakes would remain at $10 billion.

  • OpenAI must convert to for-profit with Microsoft's and the California attorney general’s approval.

  • Elon Musk, a co-founder, has challenged the restructuring plan in court.

  • CEO Sam Altman is focusing more on research, while COO Brad Lightcap handles day-to-day operations.

✔️ Straight to the Point:
OpenAI’s future hinges on going for-profit—balancing massive funding with its nonprofit roots and investor expectations.
