OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, has restructured into a public benefit corporation — a move that blends profit with purpose. This new setup gives the company more freedom to raise money while still aiming to “benefit humanity.”
According to The Wall Street Journal, Microsoft now owns a 27% stake, valuing the new OpenAI entity at around $135 billion. The agreement also gives Microsoft exclusive access to OpenAI’s advanced AI models for the next seven years — a major advantage in the global AI race.
As part of the partnership, OpenAI will spend $250 billion on Microsoft’s Azure cloud services, tightening their financial bond and making Azure the go-to platform for OpenAI’s expanding AI projects.
Critics like Elon Musk aren’t convinced. He says OpenAI has strayed from its non-profit roots and is now chasing profits instead of open collaboration. But the company insists its structure still supports innovation for the public good — just with more flexibility.
Meanwhile, ChatGPT continues to dominate the large language model market, boasting roughly 800 million weekly users. Its reach has expanded far beyond chat — powering AI-driven trading bots that analyze crypto and stock markets in real time.
A recent comparison of AI trading models showed Grok (developed by X) and DeepSeek (from China) outperforming ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini in crypto trading simulations. Each bot began with $200, scaling up to $10,000 on Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange — proving that the AI trading arena is heating up fast.
