According to FT reporting, the Trump administration is discussing with OpenAI a mechanism for the government to invest in AI startups through a public wealth fund. The proposal involves AI companies donating a small stake to the fund, which would return benefits to US citizens through accounts or dividends rather than direct government operation. This differs from Trump’s approach to directly operating AI companies. The public wealth fund concept is being explored as a way to share AI-driven economic growth with American citizens while maintaining private company independence.

A senior OpenAI employee stated “chat is dead” as the company continues to advance its super app plans. The latest update centers on ChatGPT’s transformation from 2022’s original chatbot into a super app/agent platform, integrating coding tools like Codex, image generation, and third-party applications including Canva and Booking.com. Executives call the platform a cross-platform personal AI assistant that could eventually eliminate the need for users to enter prompts. The overhaul is expected to launch on web and mobile in the coming weeks.

OpenAI’s commercial pressure is intense: ChatGPT has 900 million weekly active users, 50 million paying users, and generates $2 billion in monthly revenue but remains unprofitable. Enterprise customers contribute about 40% of revenue, with a target of 50% by year-end. Codex desktop version now exceeds 5 million weekly active users. Meanwhile, OpenAI has recently completed a $122 billion fundraising round with an $852 billion valuation, with IPO target valuations possibly exceeding $1 trillion. Competitor Anthropic has reached a $96.5 billion valuation.
