Openai this immersed in a negotiation process with Microsoft The objective of the rewriting of the terms of your agreementso that the creator of Chatgpt can go over in the future without the involvement of Microsoft in recent operations of OpenAi being an impediment to its launch in the parques.
The changes that would leave this negotiation, according to Financial Times, will also plan that Redmond will continue to have access to their latest generation models. A critical point of these negotiations is how many shares Microsoft would receive in a hypothetical step to company with profit, and public, in exchange for the more than 13,000 million dollars that it has invested so far in OpenAI. Specifically, the investment made by the creator of Windows in OpenAI so far amounts to $ 13,750 million.
Apparently, Microsoft is willing to give up a part of the actions that would correspond to them in exchange for having access to new technology that OpenAi develops from 2030, the date that both parties have set so far as a limit for Microsoft to freely access OpenAi models.
At the same time, both companies are reviewing the terms of a broader contract, whose draft was drafted when Microsoft invested the first 1,000 million in OpenAI, back in 2019.
Since Openai is a private company, there is no specific indicative of how much its assessment or how much money would want to get their managers, although several sources encrypt their value at about 260,000 million dollars.
Despite having suffered pressures from employees, researchers and competitors such as Elon Musk so that he did not abandon his non -profit company format, and that he has parked this change at least at the moment, Openai will change his structure for another that allows him to continue worrying about the common good, at the same time that allows him to count on profit.
In a letter to the workers of the company, Sam Altman, CEO de OpenAIhe pointed out a few days ago that the company, which was born as non -profit, will continue to be supervised and controlled by that non -profit entity. According to the letter, for now its profit branch will become a public benefit company (PDC), a format that Anthropic and X.AI have already adopted, although always under the control of the NGO, which will continue to be a “great shareholder” of OpenAI.
