OpenAI has raised a total of $13 billion so far. Its chatbot demo sparked an AI frenzy across the tech industry. The valuation surge follows the ChatGPT launch and AI hype in 2023.
OpenAI also talked about raising $8-$10 billion more for a new chipmaking business with an Abu Dhabi firm, per Bloomberg.
