🌋 OpenAI Seeks Additional Funding for Advanced AI Development
posted 13 Nov 2023
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is seeking additional investments from
its primary investor, Microsoft, reports the Financial Times.
The
primary goal of this increased funding is to develop a new form of
general artificial intelligence (AGI). OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman,
envisions AGI as software with human-like intelligence.
His
strategy also includes developing a suite of new tools and a GPT store
aimed at monetizing ChatGPT through a revenue-sharing model similar to
the Apple App Store. Additionally, OpenAI is developing GPT-5, which
requires extensive data training.
Microsoft's
previous investment of $10 billion valued OpenAI at $29 billion. Altman
anticipates further investments due to the high training costs for
complex AI models. Despite OpenAI currently operating at a loss, its
revenue is significantly increasing, and its partnership with Microsoft
is mutually beneficial.
