OpenAI is set to receive a substantial $110 billion in investments from a consortium of major tech companies: Amazon.com Inc., SoftBank Group Corp., and Nvidia Corp.
Amazon is leading the investment with $50 billion, while SoftBank and Nvidia are each contributing $30 billion. This significant funding round is expected to bolster OpenAI's position in the artificial intelligence sector, particularly following its success with ChatGPT.
SoftBank's investment alone will increase its ownership stake in OpenAI from approximately 11% to around 13%, reflecting a strategic shift for the Japanese conglomerate to focus more on AI businesses. The total investment from SoftBank is projected to reach $64.6 billion, a notable increase from its previous $34.6 billion stake.
