Leading artificial intelligence company, OpenAI, has announced its latest funding plan with the goal of raising $6.5 billion in a new round of financing, with an expected valuation of a staggering $150 billion. This figure significantly surpasses the $86 billion and $100 billion valuations that OpenAI had previously indicated in its equity sale offers and last month's valuation, respectively. The funding round has attracted significant participation from a number of high-profile investors, including Thrive Capital as a lead investor, along with technology giants such as Microsoft, Apple, and NVIDIA. The involvement of these companies not only provides OpenAI with crucial financial support, but also reflects the market's high expectations for the future of the artificial intelligence sector.
