• OpenAI is said to be closing a funding round that could value the company at as much as $150 billion.
• At the same time, the company saw yet another round of departures among its top leadership.
• The company is also reportedly looking to transform its core business into a for-profit benefit corporation.

At OpenAI, leadership shake ups are becoming something of an autumnal tradition.
