Chegg pivots to licensing decade of proprietary STEM academic content and expert network to AI labs✓
On 13 May 2026, Chegg announced it will license a decade of proprietary STEM step-by-step solutions and its calibrated subject-matter expert network to frontier AI labs for training and evaluation, with early customers including Magnificent Seven members. At a ~$112M market cap, Chegg is selling both the archive and the ongoing expert work, but has little leverage to price what the trained weights retain.
