Update: 2025-11-03
Description
**Summary:**In a surprising turn of events, court papers revealed that Anthropic and OpenAI, two major AI companies, had considered merging after Sam Altman's sudden departure from OpenAI. The merger talks, however, were short-lived due to practical concerns raised by Anthropic. This revelation comes amidst a public feud between Elon Musk and Sam Altman, with Musk accusing OpenAI of drifting from its original mission and acting unfairly. The legal battle has led to a second deposition for Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI's cofounder, who will be questioned about his financial interests and a confidential memo. Despite the ongoing legal disputes and industry rivalries, OpenAI has recently restructured as a for-profit public benefit corporation, signaling its commitment to moving forward.
