OpenAI Shifts Control Back to Nonprofit Structure

OpenAI has reversed course on its planned corporate restructuring, stating that its nonprofit division will continue to oversee business operations instead of shifting to a fully for-profit model as previously proposed.

Details:

• OpenAI's business arm will become a public benefit corporation (PBC), but the founding nonprofit will stay in control and hold major shares. Board Chair Bret Taylor confirmed it will continue overseeing operations

• The move follows talks with California and Delaware officials and pushback from stakeholders. Elon Musk sued over the plan, and various groups urged state attorneys general to stop the restructuring

• CEO Sam Altman says OpenAI still needs major funding—possibly "trillions"—to fulfill its mission. The company is adopting a typical stock structure under nonprofit oversight to attract capital

The reversal marks a key compromise, helping OpenAI balance investment needs with its founding goal of broadly benefiting humanity.

Nvidia Releases Open Source Speech Recognition Model On Hugging Face

Nvidia released Parakeet-TDT-0.6B-V2, a leading open-source speech recognition model topping the Hugging Face ASR Leaderboard, reflecting its broader shift into AI development beyond hardware.

Details:

• The model reaches a 6.05% word error rate, close to proprietary systems like GPT-4o-transcribe (2.46%) and ElevenLabs Scribe (3.3%), and is F-R-E-E for commercial use under CC-BY-4.0

• With 600M parameters, it uses FastConformer and TDT architectures, supports punctuation, capitalization, and word-level timestamps—ideal for transcription, voice assistants, and subtitles

• Trained on 120,000 hours of English audio (Granary dataset), it performs well across benchmarks and noisy conditions, running on systems with as little as 2GB RAM, optimized for Nvidia GPUs

Nvidia, fueled by GPU demand, is expanding across the AI ecosystem by enabling unrestricted speech recognition development for researchers and businesses.

AI in Education

250 CEOs Sign Letter Supporting AI Education In Schools

Over 250 CEOs, including leaders from Microsoft, Etsy, and Uber, signed an open letter in The New York Times calling for AI and computer science to be core subjects in U.S. K–12 education to maintain global tech competitiveness.

Details:

• The letter warns the U.S. risks falling behind countries like Brazil, China, and South Korea, which already require computer science or AI in schools. CEOs stress students must be “AI creators, not just consumers”

• Cited research shows that a single high school computer science class can boost early career earnings by 8%, regardless of college attendance

• The initiative aligns with a Trump-era executive order forming a White House task force on K–12 AI education, though federal funding cuts may undermine AI research

With backing from leaders at LinkedIn, Adobe, AMD, Khan Academy, Airbnb, Dropbox, Zoom, and others, this is one of the largest industry efforts to reshape U.S. education for an AI-driven future.
