Sensible move since most of the competition is operating under a more normal corporate model. I think the non profit thing at this point might be considered a failed experiment.

It didn't really contain progress or experimentation. Lots of people are at this point using open source models independently from OpenAI. And a lot of those models aren't that far behind qualitatively from what OpenAI is doing. And several of their competitors are starting to compete at the same level; mostly under normal corporate governance.

So, OpenAI adjusting to that isn't that strange. It's also going to be interesting to see where the people that are leaving OpenAI are going to end up. My prediction is that they will mostly end up in a variety of AI startups with traditional VC funding and usual corporate legal entities. And mostly not running or setting up their own foundations.
