Bloomberg has reported today on the upcoming restructuring of OpenAI, a startup that has quickly become one of the leaders in the AI market. Currently, the company is managed by a non-profit organization, but investors are dissatisfied with this, and the proposed restructuring would not only put OpenAI on a commercial path but also allow CEO Sam Altman to receive a 7% equity stake. Additionally, the company is expected to lose several key executives.

The timeline for these changes has not yet been specified, and the implementation of the plan is not guaranteed. However, OpenAI's charter is expected to change in such a way that profit generation will align with the company's mission of "helping society through AI systems." OpenAI's official representatives told Bloomberg that the non-profit nature of the company remains fundamental to its mission and will be preserved.

OpenAI's CTO, Mira Murati, who briefly served as CEO during last year's leadership shake-up, announced yesterday her intentions to step down from the company's leadership. The events of last fall led to the departure of many of OpenAI's early leaders, and now Murati joins their ranks. On social media platform X, she explained that she plans to focus on her own AI research. Current CEO Sam Altman expressed his gratitude to her for her contributions to OpenAI.

Before Murati leaves her position, she will need to find a successor, so the timing of these leadership changes has not been confirmed. She is determined to ensure a smooth transition of her responsibilities to avoid slowing down the company’s progress. Murati has devoted six and a half years of her career to OpenAI.

Murati is not the only executive planning to leave OpenAI soon. It has also been reported that head of research Bob McGrew and VP of research Barret Zoph will step down. Zoph noted that his decision was difficult, and he will seek new opportunities outside the company. In fact, after Murati's departure, only two of OpenAI's founders will remain with the company: Sam Altman and Wojciech Zaremba. Meanwhile, since the end of last year, OpenAI’s workforce has more than doubled, reaching 1,700 employees.

As for Altman, he previously expressed support for restructuring OpenAI in interviews, which would allow him to acquire equity in a commercial entity. According to him, such a change would finally put an end to the persistent questions about restructuring.
