Sam Altman's OpenAI Plans Major Restructuring to Non-Profit Structure Amid Rising Costs
ChatGPT parent OpenAI is exploring restructuring its corporate framework in 2025, transforming it into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).
ChatGPT母公司OpenAI正在探索在2025年重組其公司架構，將其轉變爲特拉華州公共利益公司（PBC）。
Sam Altman's artificial intelligence company initially focused on advancing AI without financial constraints. However, by 2019, it became clear that developing large-scale language models required substantial investments, prompting the company to introduce a hybrid structure.
薩姆·阿爾特曼的人工智能公司最初專注於在沒有財務限制的情況下推動人工智能的發展。然而，到2019年，開發大規模語言模型需要大量投資的事實變得明顯，這促使公司引入了一種混合結構。
OpenAI raised $1 billion from Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT). The company highlighted the need for "hundreds of billions of dollars" in capital to sustain its mission.
OpenAI從微軟公司（納斯達克：MSFT）籌集了10億。該公司強調需要數千億美元的資本來維持其使命。

The current valuation of $157 billion and competition from Microsoft, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG), and Anthropic, prompted OpenAI to issue traditional equity through its new structure, CNBC reports.
目前1570億的估值以及來自微軟、Alphabet Inc（納斯達克：GOOGL）（納斯達克：GOOG）和Anthropic的競爭，促使OpenAI通過其新結構發行傳統股權，CNBC報道。
Transitioning to a PBC will allow OpenAI to attract conventional equity investments, while the nonprofit arm will focus on charitable initiatives in education, healthcare, and science.
轉變爲PBC將使OpenAI能夠吸引傳統股權投資，而非營利部門將專注於教育、醫療和科學等慈善倡議。
Under the proposed model, OpenAI's nonprofit will hold a significant interest in the for-profit PBC, valued by independent financial advisors.
在提議的模型下，OpenAI的非營利部門將持有對盈利PBC的顯著利益，由獨立金融顧問進行評估。
However, OpenAI's move has sparked opposition from co-founder Elon Musk, who has filed legal challenges against the restructuring.
然而，OpenAI的這一舉動引發了聯合創始人埃隆·馬斯克的反對，他對此重組提出了法律挑戰。
Musk, owner of OpenAI's rival xAI, charged OpenAI of ditching its nonprofit roots. Internal challenges have also emerged, with key executives like Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati and Research Chief Bob McGrew exiting the company.
穆斯克，OpenAI競爭對手xAI的擁有者，指責OpenAI拋棄了其非營利的根基。內部挑戰也浮現，首席技術官米拉·穆拉提和研究負責人鮑勃·麥格魯等關鍵高管離開了公司。
Developing and scaling generative AI models like ChatGPT requires massive resources, including high-powered processors from Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and cloud infrastructure provided by key backer Microsoft. OpenAI expects $5 billion in losses on $3.7 billion in revenue in 2024.
開發和擴展諸如ChatGPT概念股的生成式人工智能模型需要巨大的資源，包括來自英偉達CORP（納斯達克：NVDA）的高性能處理器和微軟提供的雲基礎建設。OpenAI預計2024年將面臨50億美元的損失，而營業收入爲37億美元。
Interestingly, OpenAI recently revealed old emails from Musk that depicted his advocacy for a profit-making business model.
有趣的是，OpenAI最近披露了穆斯克舊郵件，顯示他對盈利商業模式的倡導。
Musk's AI company, xAI, announced on Monday that it raised $6 billion in funding, marking its second major funding round in 2024.
穆斯克的人工智能公司xAI在週一宣佈已籌集60億美元的資金，標誌着其在2024年的第二輪重大融資。
The investment features strategic backing from Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:AMD).
此次投資得到了英偉達CORP（納斯達克：NVDA）和美國超微公司（納斯達克：AMD）的戰略支持。
xAI plans to use the funding to expand its Colossus supercomputer, which currently runs on 100,000 Nvidia Hopper GPUs. The company aims to double its capacity to 200,000 GPUs.
xAI計劃利用這筆資金擴展其科羅薩斯超級計算機，該計算機目前運行在100,000個英偉達Hopper GPU上。公司目標是將其容量翻倍到200,000個GPU。
