Elon Musk says he will withdraw his $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI if it stops plans to convert into a for-profit company. That's according to a court filing. An OpenAI spokesman declined to

After Musk made his unsolicited bid on Monday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and chairman Brett Taylor said they weren't interested in selling.

A group of major publishers are suing AI startup Cohere for copyright and trademark infringement.

would be let go, and the production would thin out layers of management.
