That's right.
So this is sort of the second part of the round.
We're heading into the final close, you know, as soon as end of month, which could be next week.
And we're seeing some, you know, big names, traditional VCs, as well as others, other funds like D.E.
Shaw, KOTU.
And we are seeing one more company investor jump in on this part of the round, which is Microsoft.
Yeah, I think there's been a lot written about OpenAI and Microsoft's ups and downs.
Of course, Microsoft being the biggest sort of early corporate backer of OpenAI, critical to their expansion into this GPT era.
However, in recent times, we've seen OpenAI diversify its cloud, its compute base, diversify its corporate partner base.
And so I think this signifies that Microsoft's still in OpenAI, now how much and how deep, and are they the kind of sole corporate partners in early days?
No, but we are seeing a continuation, at least on the funding side here.
