OpenAI is set to raise up to $100 billion from major investors like NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Amazon, with funding aimed at managing a rising cash burn estimated at $9 billion for 2025. This funding positions OpenAI as the second-largest private company, valued over $750 billion, amidst increasing competition from firms like Anthropic and xAI, which have substantial valuations themselves.

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is on track to raise billions of dollars from its existing and new investors, a sign that the artificial intelligence (AI) boom is accelerating.

OpenAI to raise billions as competition rises 

The latest reporting by The Information shows that the company is about to raise as much as $100 billion in the coming weeks.

NVIDIA, an existing investor, plans to provide up to $30 billion in the company using the windfall it has received during the ongoing AI boom.

Microsoft, which kick-started its investment in the company, will contribute about $10 billion, while Amazon plans to invest between $10 billion and $20 billion in the company.

Amazon’s deal is structured differently from the others. For one, it is contingent on the company using Amazon’s chips and also use its cloud for about 7 years.

At the same time, Masayoshi Son’s Softbank also plans to invest $60 billion in the company, a year after it provided it with over $40 billion in financing. It is also working with Middle East investors, who are expected to provide as much as $50 billion to the company.

The new fundraising means that the company has now raised billions of dollars in financing, making it the second-biggest private company in the world with a valuation of over $750 billion.

Most importantly, the funding will help the company to cover the rising cash burn, which is estimated to have reached $9 billion in 2025. It will also help the company to fulfill part of its spending plans, including its deals with companies like Broadcom, Oracle, and CoreWeave.

The funding comes as the company is preparing to go public either this year or in the coming year. It will likely wait for the much-anticipated Anthropic IPO to gauge interest among institutional and retail investors.

Anthropic, the creator of Claude, plans to launch its IPO later this year, a move that will value it at over $350 billion. The IPO will provide investors with more information about its business, number of users, and its revenue growth.

OpenAI is facing substantial competition 

The new OpenAI funding comes as the company continues to face substantial competition in the AI industry.

Most of this competition is coming from well -funded companies, with some of them receiving multi-billion dollar valuations. 

For example, Elon Musk’s xAI has received a valuation of over $250 billion, while Anthropic is now valued at over $350 billion. Its valuation has jumped after it released its recent model, which has been widely praised by corporate clients.

Google is also a major player in the industry, with its Gemini product having millions of users globally. Other large players in the industry are companies like Perplexity AI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Meta AI, and Jasper.

Estimates are that OpenAI made over $20 billion in revenue last year and lost billions of it in losses. The company is now working on diversifying its revenue by launching adverts on its platform.
