Citing an unnamed source with knowledge of the plans, the publication claimed that OpenAI's new firm will be called The Deployment Company, and it is said to be valued at $10 billion. The report also claimed that the new venture will be majority-owned and controlled by OpenAI. It is unclear when the ChatGPT maker plans to make the venture public.
