Apple has withdrawn from discussions to participate in OpenAI’s funding round, which was projected to raise $6.5 billion. 

This brings an end to what could have been an uncommon investment by Apple in another prominent Silicon Valley company.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Apple stepped away from negotiations as the investment round neared its conclusion, with a close date anticipated for next week. The exact reason behind Apple’s exit is not yet known, and both the company and OpenAI have declined to comment on the situation.

The funding round has garnered interest from other tech giants. Microsoft, which has already invested $13 billion into OpenAI, is reportedly planning to contribute an additional $1 billion. Nvidia is also said to be in talks to participate in this round, which is expected to push OpenAI’s valuation above $100 billion.

Apple’s initial interest in OpenAI was first reported last month, as companies across industries race to establish a foothold in the AI sector. OpenAI’s rapid rise, particularly with the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, has prompted businesses to invest heavily in artificial intelligence, fearing they may lose competitive ground.

The investment, now without Apple’s involvement, retains the mission to strengthen OpenAI’s goal-achievement in the growing AI industry.
