Decart, an Israeli AI firm, has successfully raised $32 million in a Series A funding round, achieving a valuation of over $500 million. The company aims to develop AI technology and applications for an 'open world'. This funding follows a $21 million seed round secured in October 2024. Meanwhile, OpenAI is navigating a complex transition from a nonprofit to a for-profit entity, which could potentially cost the organization billions of dollars. OpenAI's chairman, Sam Altman, has publicly addressed the ongoing feud with Elon Musk, describing Musk as 'clearly a bully' and asserting that Musk would support OpenAI's current direction if he were still in control. Altman acknowledged Musk's early contributions to OpenAI but emphasized the challenges of their relationship, which has become more contentious as OpenAI pursues profit-oriented strategies. This shift has drawn scrutiny, with Musk previously advocating for a nonprofit model.
