A judge denied the request of Musk’s request to prevent openi’s trade transition, but allowed a fast -tracked test for the following year, putting the trial claims against the company in the game.
Musk again
Elon Musk’s legal battle against Openai has entered a new phase after American Judge rejected Their request for immediate prohibition to prevent the company’s infection in a beneficial unit.
While the ruling Openai allows Openai to continue operations under its current structure, the case is more and far, the court has determined a rapidly tracked test for the collapse of 2025.
Mask’s trial filed earlier this year accused Openai of leaving its original mission to develop artificial intelligence for public benefits in favor of private investors.
Openai and its CEO, Sam Altman, have rejected Musk’s allegations, instead arguing that infection in a beneficial model is required to raise adequate capital necessary to effectively compete in expensive AI industry.
The company also emphasizes that Musk’s case is mainly powered by competitive motivations rather than real moral concerns.
US District Judge Yavon Gonzalez Rogers ruled that the evidence of Musk – mainly internal email – failed to complete the legal limit for an prohibition. However, he admitted that the case raises important legal questions about openi’s infection.
He wrote, “In view of the betting bets and the possibility of loss in contrast to the law, the court has completely prepared the collapse of 2025 to accelerate the testing for that claim and potentially related contract-based claims,” he wrote.
The high-day is ruling in the midst of financial maneuver. Recently, Altman dismissed the bid of acquisition of $ 97.4 billion from Musk and his colleagues, a blunt “no thanks.”
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the SoftBank is having a conversation lead An investment round of $ 40 billion that can increase Openi’s post-money valuation by $ 300 billion- Dwarf The $ 75 billion evaluation that is allegedly seeking Musk’s rival AI Startup, XAI, allegedly.
Despite the shock, Musk’s legal team remains optimistic. Musk’s Attorney Mark Tobaroff said, “We are ready for a jury that Altman accepted Musk’s charitable contributions, knowing that he was to be used for public benefit rather than his own promotion.”
Legal dispute highlights widespread questions
Musk’s lawsuit raises a deep question about who controls artificial intelligence and whether companies starting as non-profit companies can legally transfer profit models.
Musk claims that an openIA transition from a non-profit from a non-profit-and now violates its original mission for a structure with limitations without any profit.
When Openai was launched in 2015, Musk was one of its greatest donors, who contributed millions of dollars to support his non -profit vision. The goal was to develop AI for the good of the public, to avoid such profit-operated purposes that can cause careless commercialization.
However, in 2018, Musk left OpenaiI, when the board dismissed the company’s for-profit division to turn its proposal to turn Tesla.
Since then, Openai has rapidly trusted external investors, with Microsoft reported $ 13 billion, which strengthens its private sector change.
Openai prosecuted as an attempt to reduce competition, given that Musk only began criticizing her structure after launching her AI Startup, XAI.
The company has also pointed to Musk’s previous emails, showing that they once merged Openi’s for-Profit Arm into Tesla.
“This would have been great for their personal gain, but not for our mission or American interests,” openi told Business Insider.
Beyond the trial, the case reflects the increasing cost of AI development. Advanced models such as GPT -4 cost hundreds of billions of dollars in training, making it difficult to maintain a non -profit funding model.
Openai puts big bets on premium AI agents
Amidst their legal battles with Musk, OpenII has continued to expand its profit, developing AI agents for software development, research and professional services, with pricing ranging from $ 2,000 to $ 20,000 per month.
According For information, the upcoming AI agents of Openai will be made in line with different market segments based on complexity and capacity.
The first level targets “high-or-ore knowledge workers”, which provides advanced analytical equipment per month at $ 2,000.
A more advanced version designed for software developers provides automatic coding support and debugging assistance at a monthly cost of $ 10,000.
At the highest level, Openai is allegedly working on an AI agent, which is capable of conducting “PHD-level research”, with an industry-agronic price tag of $ 20,000 per month.
While the exact launch timeline remains uncertain, OpenAII investor SoftBank has allegedly committed to the AI agent initiative this year, which underlines confidence in its profitability.
Beyond AI agents, Openai has also introduced intensive research, an AI tool designed to synthesize large amounts of information in research-level reports.
Meanwhile, the company has rolled out the GPT-4.5 for the Chatgpt Pro Subscribers, describing it as its most advanced language model so far.
The GPT-4.5 claims for better pattern recognition, increased emotional intelligence, and low hallucinations and wrong information.
Although its increased size has made it more expensive to operate, OpenIAI has adjusted API pricing to $ 75 per million input tokens and $ 150 per million output tokens.
Despite these progresses, GPT-4.5 has not performed better than all rivals. The AI benchmark indicates that the models of companies such as Dipsek and Anthropic have crossed the latest release of OpenaiI in some logic works.
