Openai said they were in talks to raise $ 40 billion to an assessment of $ 340 billion

Openai can have billions of dollars at the bank. But he is preparing to increase billions more, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

According to the WSJ, Openai is in talks to obtain up to $ 40 billion in a financing cycle that would appreciate the startup at $ 340 billion. SoftBank would take the tour, ply between $ 15 and 25 billion in the Chatppt manufacturer, according to WSJ.

If Openia managed to close the Tour, it would be a remarkable feat for the startup, which was estimated at $ 157 billion in October. The WSJ says that Optai would use capital to finance its commercial operations which lost money and would carry out its commitment to Stargate, its ambitious project to build IA data centers through the United States

In 2024, Openai would have lost about 5 billion dollars against revenues of $ 3.7 billion. The losses could go up. In collaboration with partners such as SoftBank, Openai aims to contribute billions of dollars to Stargate to start.
