According to BlockBeats, Microsoft and OpenAI announced on Thursday that they have signed a non-binding agreement outlining new terms for their relationship. This agreement will enable OpenAI to advance its restructuring plans to become a for-profit entity. While the companies did not disclose further details about the new commercial arrangements, they indicated that efforts are underway to finalize the terms of a definitive agreement.
A memo from Brett Taylor, the current chairman of OpenAI's nonprofit board, revealed that OpenAI's existing nonprofit parent company will maintain control by holding $100 billion in shares of a public benefit corporation, granting it decision-making authority over the company.
