Artificial intelligence research firm OpenAI is planning a new round of financing, with an estimated valuation of over $1000 billion, positioning it as the second most valuable startup globally. The specific terms, valuation, and timing of the financing have yet to be determined and may change. OpenAI has successfully launched ChatGPT and has attracted significant investment over the past 14 months. The company also plans to conduct a tender offer led by Thrive Capital and collaborate with G42 to establish a new chip enterprise in Abu Dhabi.
