- What it is
- A news report on the October 2025 recapitalization of OpenAI. It says the nonprofit is now the OpenAI Foundation, that it controls the for-profit OpenAI Group PBC, and that Microsoft holds about 27 percent. It repeats OpenAI's own announcement.
- How much weight it carries
- A trade news site that repeats OpenAI's announcement closely. OpenAI's own page on the restructuring was blocked to our fetches, so this source stands in for it and the figures are OpenAI's claims as relayed.
