OpenAI is reportedly in talks for a substantial $40 billion funding round, potentially valuing the company at $300 billion. The round, led by SoftBank, would see the Japanese conglomerate become OpenAI’s largest investor, surpassing Microsoft. This funding would support OpenAI's various initiatives, including its contribution to the Stargate AI infrastructure project and its ongoing business operations. It comes amid increased competition in the AI landscape, particularly with the emergence of new models like DeepSeek's, which is reportedly using substantially less hardware than comparable models.
OpenAI is also facing concerns regarding the use of its AI models by other companies. Allegations have surfaced that DeepSeek may have inappropriately used OpenAI's technology through a process known as "distillation," a technique used to boost the performance of smaller models. OpenAI is actively reviewing these allegations and has indicated it takes aggressive countermeasures to protect its technology. Additionally, OpenAI revealed it is partnering with U.S. National Laboratories, granting scientists access to its latest AI models for scientific research and nuclear weapons security, including working with Microsoft to deploy its tech on the Venado supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Furthermore, OpenAI has used the subreddit r/ChangeMyView to test AI persuasion capabilities.
