OpenAI has changed its corporate structure to a public benefit corporation to expand its ability to raise money. This move supports the company’s growing Artificial Intelligence goals. Alongside this shift, Microsoft acquired a 27% ownership share valued at approximately $135 billion.

The agreement also guarantees Microsoft access to OpenAI’s core technology for seven more years. In addition, OpenAI committed to spending $250 billion on Microsoft’s Azure cloud services throughout their partnership. This deepens the companies’ financial and strategic connections.

A public benefit corporation is a for-profit business that can still raise capital and offer investor returns. Despite the restructuring, criticism remains from figures like Elon Musk, who argue that OpenAI has moved away from its original nonprofit mission by focusing on commercial deals.

ChatGPT continues to be the most used large language model globally, with about 800 million weekly active users. Its application now extends into AI-powered trading bots for both cryptocurrencies and traditional stock markets. These bots use ChatGPT to analyze market information and improve trading strategies in real time.

Recent research compared AI models designed for crypto trading. The study found that Grok, an AI developed by X, and DeepSeek, a Chinese AI, performed better than ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini in simulations. Each bot started trading with $200 in capital and later increased to $10,000, using the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange for all transactions.
