[itbear] openai, the american artificial intelligence giant, raised us$6.6 billion in its latest round of financing, raising its valuation to us$157 billion. this financing attracted many well-known investors, including thrive capital, microsoft, nvidia, etc., to jointly support openai’s research and development in the field of ai.

although apple did not participate in this round of investment, openai still successfully raised excess funds and rejected billions of dollars in additional subscription requests. this huge financing not only demonstrates openai’s market potential, but also further consolidates its leading position in the global generative ai track.

openai stated that the newly raised funds will be mainly used to strengthen the research and development of ai technology, improve computing power, and continue to develop innovative tools to solve various problems faced by people. the company emphasizes that its mission is to ensure that the development of general artificial intelligence technology can benefit all mankind.

with the widespread application of openai technology, more than 250 million people around the world are using its chatgpt service every week to improve work efficiency, creativity and learning capabilities. at the same time, many companies are also using openai's platform to improve productivity and operational levels.

however, despite openai’s increasingly prominent commercial value, its operating costs are also rising rapidly. it is reported that the company has invested hugely in product research and development and operations, and is expected to face losses of up to us$5 billion by the end of 2024. despite this, openai still insists on investing in innovation and technology research and development in order to promote the development of the entire ai industry.

during the financing process, openai asked investors not to support its competitors, such as anthropic and xai, to ensure that its leading position in the field of generative ai is not challenged.
