OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

What's interesting to me is that OpenAI actually did confirm that there was some sort of contingency.

AI HR
OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

They didn't say exactly what the contingency set was.

OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

They just said that that additional $35 billion is going to be delivered, quote, in the coming months when certain conditions are met.

AI HR

So they're not telling the public what the conditions are.

OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

If that's AGI, if that's an IPO, that's still kind of confidential information.

And there's a whole bunch of details on the NVIDIA partnership, and those are much more limited.

OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

But I think opening, I said that they've committed about three gigawatts of dedicated inference capacity and two gigawatts of training on NVIDIA's Vera Rubin systems.

So NVIDIA's participation in this, I think this is something that a lot of people have been speculating about.

AI HR
OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

There were some earlier reports of a potential hundred billion dollar commitment.

AI HR
OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

This obviously has been revised downwards, right?

AI HR
OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

And not to say that

AI HR

maybe they won't put more in the future.

AI HR
OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

But that was kind of the headline was going to be 100 billion.

AI HR
OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

And now it's somewhere closer to 30 billion.

And, you know, a lot of people have kind of asked Jensen Huang why that happened.

AI HR

In January, he pushed back on a bunch of rumors, talking about how NVIDIA was going to invest really heavily in OpenAI's work specifically versus just like some of the other competitors.

So

I think a lot of the funding announcements are happening at the same time that they're announcing some big milestones.

AI HR
OpenAI Raises Record $110B, Hits 900M Weekly Users

And this typically is something that happens when you see companies go and raise money, they'll hit the milestones, or they'll be close to hitting the milestones, but go and kind of announce that to investors, look, we're about to hit XYZ target or

AI HR

Maybe they've hit it.
