OpenAI's Sam Altman wants to negotiate a 5% stake in company for US if competitors agree to key provision
Sam Altman is considering offering a 5% stake in OpenAI to the U.S. if competitors like Meta, Google, and Anthropic also contribute 5% to the public. Altman met with President Donald Trump, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss the plan, which aims to align OpenAI with government interests and avoid a similar fate to Anthropic.
