OpenAI, the artificial intelligence research lab behind the widely known AI tool ChatGPT, is reportedly in the process of securing investment aimed at pushing its valuation beyond $100 billion. 

Venture capital firm Thrive Capital will lead the funding round, with a commitment of approximately $1 billion per WSJ. This follows Thrive’s previous investments in OpenAI. Microsoft, a key partner and investor in the AI company, is also expected to contribute to this latest round of funding. 

This anticipated funding round is the largest capital infusion OpenAI has received since January 2023, when Microsoft invested nearly $10 billion into the company. These investments have helped in supporting OpenAI’s projects, including the development of its flagship products like GPT-4 and the language model-based assistant Sora.

OpenAI has however faced financial challenges. Despite generating an estimated $3.4 billion in revenue earlier this year, the company is on track to incur substantial losses, projected to reach nearly $5 billion by the end of 2024. 

This financial issue is largely attributed to the high costs associated with AI training and the expansion of its workforce, with the company reportedly spending over $8.5 billion to date on these steps.

Founded in 2015 by Sam Altman and other co-founders, OpenAI was initially a non-profit organisation focused on advancing AI in a manner beneficial to humanity. Over the years, it has evolved into an important addition to the tech industry, attracting major investments and partnerships. 

Its products, particularly ChatGPT, have changed how individuals and businesses interact with AI, further strengthening OpenAI’s goals and objectives in relation to the global impact of artificial intelligence.

With the new capital, OpenAI may further enhance its technologies, expand its product offerings, and solidify its works in the AI space. However, the challenge remains in balancing profitability with its original mission of ensuring that AI technologies are developed and deployed for the greater good.
