NVIDIA (NVDA.O) and SoftBank completed final $10bn tranches each in OpenAI’s
prior financing round, adding $20bn and closing their respective $30bn
investment commitments, sources and SoftBank said. OpenAI disclosed in March the
round secured $122bn in commitments at an $852bn post-money valuation. Amazon
(AMZN.O) had committed up to $50bn and completed its investment in July. With
the round closed, OpenAI may prepare a next private raise targeting about $30bn
at an estimated ~$1.4tn valuation. SoftBank said its cumulative investment in
OpenAI is $64.6bn, representing roughly a 13% stake; part of the latest tranche
was funded via an $11.1bn high-yield bond sale completed in late September.
