OpenAI has completed its recapitalization plan, splitting the company into a for-profit corporation and a non-profit foundation.
The non-profit entity, now named the OpenAI Foundation, retains control over the for-profit arm, restructured as OpenAI Group, a public benefit corporation, according to chair Bret Taylor.
The structure ensures the value of the non-profit’s stake increases in-line with the commercial success of OpenAI.
The non-profit side will use the rising value to fund its philanthropic work.
