OpenAI has officially withdrawn its proposal to transition into a commercial entity, opting instead to maintain its status as a nonprofit organization while simultaneously seeking funding for its profit-driven arm to bolster AI competitiveness. The company's founder, Altman, underscored that their core mission remains steadfast. This decision could significantly impact SoftBank's investment plans, with the potential for a 50% reduction to $20 billion if OpenAI fails to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) by 2025.
