OpenAI Becomes For-Profit, Scientists Reverse Aging, and Ultra-Fast LLMs

FEATURED INSIGHT💡

OpenAI Officially Turns For-Profit

After years of operating under a nonprofit cap, OpenAI has completed a long-anticipated restructuring. The new setup creates a for-profit arm called OpenAI Group, controlled by the nonprofit OpenAI Foundation.

Microsoft now owns about 27 percent, worth roughly $135 billion, and keeps exclusive IP rights to OpenAI models through 2032. The Foundation itself holds 26 percent, with the rest split among investors and employees.

The change clears the way for OpenAI to raise more funding and make acquisitions—something the nonprofit structure had limited. Regulators in California and Delaware signed off with a few conditions, including commitments around youth safety and AI-risk mitigation.

It’s a defining moment: OpenAI can now chase massive capital while keeping a nonprofit layer to satisfy public-benefit oversight. Sam Altman and chief scientist Jakub Pachocki are even hosting a live Q&A to field questions directly from the public.

Shoppers are adding to cart for the holidays

Over the next year, Roku predicts that 100% of the streaming audience will see ads. For growth marketers in 2026, CTV will remain an important “safe space” as AI creates widespread disruption in the search and social channels. Plus, easier access to self-serve CTV ad buying tools and targeting options will lead to a surge in locally-targeted streaming campaigns.

Read our guide to find out why growth marketers should make sure CTV is part of their 2026 media mix.

ON THE HORIZON 🌅

Scientists Just Reversed Aspects of Aging in Monkeys

A team publishing in Cell has done what sounds like science fiction. They engineered senescence-resistant human progenitor cells (basically stem cells that don’t age as quickly) and injected them into older macaques over 44 weeks.

The results were startling: better brain structure and memory, healthier tissue and reproductive systems, and no major side effects. The treatment even reduced inflammation and cellular decay markers linked to aging.

It’s early and still far from human trials, but this could signal the first step toward true regenerative anti-aging medicine—a future where “getting old” might one day be optional.

Tesla shareholders approve Musk’s $1 trillion pay package

At Tesla’s annual meeting in Austin, shareholders gave Elon Musk the green light on a pay plan that could hand him as much as $1 trillion in stock if Tesla hits a series of growth milestones. The deal also expands Musk’s voting power and doubles down on his push into robotaxis, humanoid robots, and full self-driving systems.

Amazon flips the switch on its biggest AI data center

Outside a small town in Indiana, Amazon Web Services has activated a sprawling complex of Trainium2 chips (half a million of them) dedicated to powering Anthropic’s Claude models. It’s the largest non-Nvidia AI cluster in the world, proving that the chip race is officially multi-sided.

Inception raises $50 million to reinvent text and code models

A Stanford-born startup called Inception just secured $50 million to build diffusion-based language models. Instead of predicting text one word at a time, these models refine entire outputs in parallel, making them dramatically faster and cheaper to run. Their new model, Mercury, is already embedded in developer tools like ProxyAI and Kilo Code.

Tencent & Tsinghua unveil CALM: A Next-Vector Approach to Language

Researchers from Tencent and Tsinghua University introduced Continuous Autoregressive Language Models (CALM). Instead of predicting the next token, CALM compresses several words into a single vector, then predicts the next vector—cutting generation steps and improving speed.

Think of it as moving from “word-by-word” to “idea-by-idea.” Early tests show similar accuracy to today’s top models but with far less compute time.
