OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is back to doing what he does best: raising money. The ChatGPT creator has had preliminary conversations about a $100 billion-valuation fundraising, Bloomberg reported Friday, even though its tender offer at a $86 billion valuation isn’t yet complete.
Given Altman’s past comment that OpenAI may need to raise $100 billion in capital to accomplish its goals of artificial general intelligence—a term that has since been upgraded to “superintelligence”—none of this should be a surprise. And as venture investors’ valuation exuberance for brand-name AI startups shows no sign of letting off, (and that’s putting it mildly), $100 billion seems tame compared to what rival Anthropic is doing.
