Microsoft Holds Out on OpenAI Restructuring, Seeks $13.75 Billion Stake Protection and Tech Access Beyond 2030

Microsoft remains the primary investor resisting OpenAI's ongoing restructuring plan, seeking assurances that its $13.75 billion stake will be protected. The technology giant is also aiming to secure continued access to OpenAI's technology beyond 2030. OpenAI is attempting to reduce its dependency on Microsoft despite the latter being a key partner, adding complexity to the restructuring process amid a competitive landscape in artificial intelligence development.
