OpenAI Raises $6.6 Billion in Latest Funding Round with Backing from Thrive Capital, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Others

  • 8 seconds ago
OpenAI closed a funding round at a $157 billion valuation, raising $6.6 billion from investment firms and tech companies. Thrive Capital led the round, with participation from Microsoft, Nvidia, SoftBank, and others. The funding enables OpenAI to enhance its AI research, expand computing capacity, and develop tools. OpenAI's ChatGPT has 250 million weekly active users, driving the company's revenue growth to $300 million monthly. While OpenAI expects over $11 billion in sales next year, it's projected to lose $5 billion in 2024 due to high operational costs, including GPU purchases.
