Recently, it was learned from informed sources that leading ai company OpenAI is about to complete its latest round of financing, and potential investors will determine whether to participate in the investment this Friday. As of now, the company's funding target of $6.5 billion has far exceeded expectations, indicating that investors' enthusiasm for participating in this round of financing has exceeded OpenAI's planned acceptance range. Due to the sensitive information involved, these sources choose to remain anonymous.

It is reported that the oversubscribed demand is as high as several billion dollars, which means that some investors may receive news that they have not been selected this Friday. Although OpenAI has not commented on this matter, there are indications that several heavyweight strategic investors, including microsoft, nvidia, and apple, are expected to obtain investment permission.

This financing values OpenAI at approximately $150 billion, not including the new injected funds. It is worth noting that this valuation is far higher than the company's $86 billion valuation in earlier financing rounds. In addition, at least one well-known existing investor, Sequoia Capital, will not participate in this round of financing.

On the other hand, existing investor Thrive Capital is leading this round of financing and plans to invest $1.25 billion. Thrive Capital has not commented on this news.

Overall, OpenAI's new round of financing activities demonstrates the market's great confidence in its ai technology, as well as the high expectations of investors for the future potential of this field. Although some investors may not be able to participate, the successful financing of OpenAI will undoubtedly further promote its innovation and development in the field of ai.
