OpenAI Negotiates to Raise New Funds Up to $40 Billion, Valuation Could Reach $300 Billion
Under the impact of DeepSeek, Silicon Valley is really exciting.
Just yesterday, OpenAI and Anthropic were leading the charge, trying every way to set up obstacles. But overnight, infrastructure providers have all started to embrace DeepSeek.
Microsoft, NVIDIA, and AWS have also expedited the launch of DeepSeek model hosting services.
As one user commented in NVIDIA’s official X thread, "If you can't beat them, join them."
Here’s the latest update on OpenAI’s response: fundraising, fundraising, fundraising.
This round aims to raise up to $40 billion, which could push OpenAI’s valuation to $300 billion, potentially making it the largest single funding round for a private company in history.
