In addition to NVIDIA, other tech giants such as Apple and Microsoft are also discussing the possibility of participating in this round of funding. Should these discussions yield breakthroughs, it would mean that the highest-valued tech companies would collectively support OpenAI's development, providing stronger resources and financial backing. OpenAI recently disclosed that the weekly active users of ChatGPT have exceeded 200 million, doubling its usage since last year, further solidifying its leading position in the AI field.
This funding round is expected to be led by venture capital firm Thrive Capital. If NVIDIA and Apple successfully join, it will significantly propel OpenAI's technological advancements and potentially accelerate the application and development of AI across various industries. Currently, these negotiations are still ongoing, and the final investment outcome and specific funding details have not been publicly disclosed.
OpenAI's rapid rise and the widespread application of ChatGPT are drawing attention and spurring collaboration among global tech giants. With the continuous advancement of AI technology, OpenAI's market influence and future prospects are highly anticipated.
