The AI startup was originally looking to remove the control of the non-profit, a plan that drew criticism from many in the tech space, including rival and initial OpenAI co-founder Elon Musk.
Since the non-profit would retain control, and the original restructure plan was ditched, it was unclear if OpenAI's major investors were on board.
But SoftBank's finance chief Yoshimitsu Goto said during an earnings press conference on Tuesday that "nothing has really changed."
"I don't think that's the wrong direction … that's something that we expected," Goto said, according to a company translation of his comments in Japanese.
