SoftBank has been rumored to be looking to increase investment in OpenAI recently. In addition to the Japanese investment company, reports have now emerged that NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Amazon are also looking to increase investment in the artificial intelligence company.
These three giant companies are expected to collectively invest between $40 billion and $50 billion in the company. OpenAI itself is said to be looking to raise up to $100 billion in funding in an effort to continue developing infrastructure and training new, more powerful models.
For your information, Microsoft is already a major shareholder in OpenAI. By increasing this investment, it is seen as allowing Microsoft to continue to maintain its total shareholding without it decreasing due to the entry of new investors.
With this report, we may see OpenAI announce their new funding injection in the near future.
