OpenAI Raises $6.6B in Massive Funding Round

As a gamer with decades of experience under my belt, this news about OpenAI‘s massive funding round leaves me both awestruck and intrigued. I remember when chatbots were just a novelty, something to pass the time between gaming sessions. But here we are now, with generative AI becoming a game-changer in its own right.


OpenAI has successfully completed an enormous funding round worth $6.6 billion, which now estimates its value as a leading company in generative AI at an impressive $157 billion.

On Wednesday, the company shared that fresh financing would enable them to strengthen their dominance in pioneering Artificial Intelligence research, boost computational power, and persistently develop solutions for tackling complex issues.

The event was spearheaded by Joshua Kushner’s firm, Thrive Capital, with the participation of big names like Microsoft, Nvidia, SoftBank, Fidelity, as well as other prominent investors.

OpenAI, undeniably, stands as one of the world’s leading AI companies (although technically, it operates as a non-profit organization). Its ChatGPT and Dall-E products have sparked conversations about generative AI and showcased the potential of this technology respectively. Moreover, OpenAI is venturing into the realm of AI-generated videos with its Sora product.

More to come.
