[itbear] openai, the american artificial intelligence giant, raised us$6.6 billion in its latest round of financing, pushing its valuation to us$157 billion, making it a leader in the global generative ai field. this financing was led by thrive capital, with participation from many well-known companies such as microsoft and nvidia. although apple did not participate, the financing was still oversubscribed.

openai said the new funds will be used to strengthen its leadership in ai research, improve computing capabilities, and continue to develop tools to help solve complex problems. currently, more than 250 million people around the world use its chatgpt service every week to improve work, creation and learning efficiency.

although openai's revenue is growing rapidly, with revenue reaching $300 million in august and forecast sales of approximately $3.7 billion this year and rising to $11.6 billion next year, its losses are also staggering. it is reported that the company may lose about us$5 billion this year, mainly due to the huge investment in product research and development and operations.

openai also asked investors during the financing process not to support its competitors, such as anthropic and xai, in order to maintain its leadership in the field of generative ai. this strategy shows openai’s keen insight and strong confidence in market competition.

despite financial pressures, openai remains committed to its mission to make advanced intelligence a widely accessible resource for the benefit of all humanity. the company said it will work with partners, developers and the broader community to create an ai ecosystem and future that benefits everyone.
