@Wulfy—Speaker to the machines Any source please? I read that it's about a talent hire + foundation transition, not a corporate buyout. Steinberger explicitly chose OpenAI to scale his vision, not to sell the project.
It's a matter of interpretation, you can't buy a FOSS. Project, he's allegedly getting 8B for joining Altman (with his new codebase presumably) OpenAI paid as much as 6B for talent previously.
According to the article I read, details are not known.

Technically, you are right.
I'm less charitable in my reading though.
