The company, known for its groundbreaking products in AI technologies, has reached millions of users with tools like ChatGPT.
With these successes piled up, OpenAI continues to attract more investment in the rapidly growing market. Microsoft, one of the company’s biggest supporters, also plans to take part in this investment round.
Microsoft has been collaborating with OpenAI for years. In fact, thanks to this support, the company is further strengthening its leadership position in the industry. However, Microsoft has not yet made an official statement regarding this investment round.
In addition to all this, Thrive Capital, which is expected to manage the investment round, plans to invest $1 billion in this round. OpenAI will use these funds to undertake new projects to further advance artificial intelligence technologies. The company’s aim is to spread its innovative work in the field of artificial intelligence to a wider area.
