Although you are occupied in Ghibli, your images with new capacities for generation of chatgpt images, Openai collects a ton in cash. The company is about to finalize a new $ 40 billion financing round led by SoftBank, according to A Bloomberg report.
The report noted that other funds, in particular the magnetar capital of the hedge fund, the management of the founders, the founding fund and the Altimeter capital management, are also under discussion with OpenAi to participate in the round, with Magnetar potentially in $ 1 billion.
Bloomberg said SoftBank will initially cost $ 7.5 billion, with an additional $ 2.5 billion from an investor union. The report has added that a second tranche is expected this year, in which the Japanese conglomerate will invest 22.5 billion dollars and an additional $ 7.5 billion will be unionized.
Openai raised a round for the last time of $ 6.6 billion led by Thrive Capital in October 2024 to an evaluation of $ 157 billion. Bloomberg’s latest report said the new mega-round will bring the company to a massive evaluation of $ 300 billion.
