Will this $14 billion ‘divide’ Microsoft and ChatGPT maker OpenAI

OpenAI and Microsoft are locked in a high-stakes negotiation over how to translate Microsoft’s nearly $14 billion investment into equity as the AI startup transitions to a for-profit corporation, according to a Wall Street Journal report. This pivotal discussion comes as tensions emerge in their once-celebrated partnership.
The two companies have enlisted investment banks to advise them on the process, with Microsoft working with Morgan Stanley and OpenAI tapping Goldman Sachs.
The outcome could result in Microsoft owning a significant stake in what would become the second-most valuable startup in the US, behind only SpaceX.
