OpenAI eyes $6.5 billion in funding to boost its market valuation to $150 billion

OpenAI eyes .5 billion in funding to boost its market valuation to 0 billion

San Francisco-based OpenAI is currently in talks to raise about $6.5 billion in funding, potentially boosting its market valuation to nearly $150 billion. That significant increase would position OpenAI as one of the most valuable private entities globally, second only to ByteDance, the developer behind TikTok.

The ambitious financial goal represents a substantial jump from the company’s $80 billion valuation just nine months earlier. If successful, OpenAI would significantly surpass its previous goals, including a recent offering to raise $1 billion at a $100 billion valuation.

The need for substantial investment stems from OpenAI's intensive use of computational resources, which are required to develop advanced AI technologies. This surge in funding requirements reflects the company's rapid progress in the technology sector.

For more details on OpenAI’s developments and the strategic moves behind their major financial ambitions, stay tuned for updates from our San Francisco-based tech correspondents.
