Notably, the AI startup also said that Altman would not have any stake in the newly created public benefit corporation.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bMeanwhile, Microsoft would hold around 27% of the PBC, which amounts to about $135 billion in stake. The Windows maker will have access to OpenAI&#8217;s AI models till 2032 even if independent experts verify that OpenAI has achieved AGI with its models. The earlier agreement stated that Microsoft would only have access to the ChatGPT maker&#8217;s models till AGI was achieved or till 2030.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe new agreement also states that OpenAI has agreed to purchase an additional $250 billion of Microsoft Azure services. However, Microsoft would no longer have a right of first refusal to be OpenAI&#8217;s compute partner.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bIn a blog post, both the companies said that a revenue-sharing agreement will stay in effect until an expert panel verifies that AGI has been achieved with OpenAI models. Microsoft will receive 20% of OpenAI&#8217;s revenue, as per a Bloomberg report citing anonymous sources.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe restructuring is expected to help OpenAI streamline raising capital which was earlier said to be a hurdle due to the company&#8217;s unusual corporate structure. With the ChatGPT maker competing against the likes of Meta, Google, Anthropic, and others in the AI race, there is always a need for additional capital and computing power in the race for reaching superintelligence first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has announced that the company plans to develop a fully automated AI researcher by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":104140,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[345,48731,343,344,4193,48732,85,46,5022,1748,68310,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-104139","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-ai-chatgpt","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-chatgpt","13":"tag-chatgpt-ai","14":"tag-il","15":"tag-israel","16":"tag-open-ai","17":"tag-openai","18":"tag-openai-chatgpt","19":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
