OPENAI RAISES $122 BILLION AND IS STILL NOT A PUBLIC COMPANY
OpenAI's latest funding round, led by Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank, values the AI lab at $852 billion as it inches toward an IPO. The round includes $3 billion from retail investors, meaning regular people are now financially invested in the robot apocalypse.
At $852 billion, OpenAI is worth more than most countries' GDP and still technically a nonprofit turned capped-profit turned whatever-they-need-it-to-be. SoftBank throwing money at this is either visionary or the most SoftBank thing that has ever happened. Retail investors joining in is either democratizing AI ownership or the new GameStop. Either way, if this company ever actually goes public, the IPO will be less of a stock listing and more of a cultural event.
