openai 300m share sale

OpenAI, the company behind the wildly successful ChatGPT chatbot, has recently completed a highly lucrative share sale, netting over $300 million from several prominent venture capital firms. As reported by TechCrunch, OpenAI’s valuation is estimated to be between $27 billion and $29 billion.

Several venture capital firms, including Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive, and K2 Global, participated in the recent share sale conducted by OpenAI. A source familiar with the matter mentioned to TechCrunch that Founders Fund also invested in the company. The investment is distinct from Microsoft’s $10 billion investment made earlier this year. In total, external investors currently own more than 30% of OpenAI.

The recent funding will provide OpenAI with the necessary resources to pursue its development and research in artificial intelligence and machine learning. OpenAI has been a leading contributor to AI research since its establishment in 2015 and has notably created the GPT language model employed in ChatGPT

The GPT-3 and GPT-4 language models have gained significant notoriety for their capacity to produce text that closely mimics human language. They have been used in a range of applications, such as chatbots and automated content production.

ChatGPT had over 1 billion visitors in February alone. Notably, this figure does not even include those who accessed ChatGPT through third-party platforms. Recent reports indicate that the chatbot has surpassed 100 million monthly active users, achieving this milestone faster than even the popular video-sharing app TikTok. These impressive metrics illustrate the significant impact that ChatGPT has had on the field of artificial intelligence and demonstrate the widespread adoption of the technology by users across the globe.
