this time bythrive capital (1.3 billion), microsoft (750 million), nvidia, softbank (500 million), tiger global management (350 million), altimeter capital (250 million) and other joint investments.

although apple withdrew from this investment, openai’s financing was still very smooth and it rejected billions of dollars in oversubscription (revealed by bloomberg). this has also become one of the highest financings in the global generative ai track, surpassing musk’s large model platform xai’s us$6 billion and openai’s main competitor anthropic’s us$4 billion.

if listed at a valuation of us$157 billion,openai's market value will exceed that of top investment bank goldman sachs group and the world's largest mobility company uber. as of press time, goldman sachs' total market value is us$155.4 billion, and uber's is us$154.3 billion.
