By Deepa Seetharaman, Stephen Nellis and Deborah Mary Sophia (Reuters) -Microsoft and OpenAI announced a restructuring deal on Tuesday that frees the ChatGPT maker to move away from its nonprofit roots and likely go public so it can finance CEO Sam Altman's ambitious plans to develop data centers and cutting-edge technology.

Microsoft made its first investment in Sam Altman's OpenAI in 2019. It now holds a 27% in OpenAI's for-profit business.

OpenAI is offering all users in India free one-year access to ChatGPT Go starting November 4 to boost AI adoption.

ChatGPT Atlas is a free internet browser that can regurgitate browser history, provide writing help and complete basic ordered tasks.

OpenAI said it's working with mental health professionals to improve ChatGPT's responses. The AI chatbot has 800 million weekly active users.

OpenAI's new browser is a surface for the company to distribute ChatGPT and develop new AI features rather than improving core web experience.
