On February 19, Bloomberg reported that OpenAI is about to complete a funding round exceeding $100 billion. This record-breaking investment is expected to push its post-money valuation above $850 billion (approximately 5.88 trillion Chinese yuan at the current exchange rate), instantly drawing widespread attention from the technology and investment sectors.

In the first batch of funding sources, strategic investors hold a central position, with Amazon, SoftBank Group, NVIDIA, and Microsoft all listed in the core list. Further information indicates that if all parties proceed with the maximum discussed amounts, the investment scale would be astonishing: Amazon is expected to invest up to $50 billion, SoftBank plans to invest $30 billion, and NVIDIA is discussing an investment of around $20 billion. These companies are expected to finalize the investment allocation amounts by the end of this month.

To support its ambitious plans for trillions of dollars in infrastructure development, the funds from corporate investors will not be received all at once but are expected to be disbursed in multiple installments this year.

Notably, this financing also involves deeper collaboration. As part of the investment agreement, OpenAI will further deepen its cooperation with Amazon.
