综合先前的消息,这家美国人工智能公司正在与投资者洽谈,预计将以1500亿美元的估值筹集65亿美元,知名风险投资机构Thrive Capital领投,微软等的投资者在列。
这轮融资有望巩固OpenAI作为全球最有价值初创公司的地位,如果按1500亿美元的估值上市,OpenAI的市值将接近顶级投行高盛集团。截至发稿,高盛的总市值为1562亿美元。
需要指出的是,如果消息属实,这将是软银对OpenAI的首次投资。
今年6月份的时候,软银与OpenAI的竞争对手之一——Perplexity建立战略合作伙伴关系,向其投资了1000万至2000万美元,令Perplexity的估值达到30亿美元。
今年7月,在日本上市的软银集团股票曾一度创下每股12180日元的历史纪录。虽有所回落,但年初至今的涨幅接近34%,反映投资者对公司押注AI的决定投出了赞成票。
财联社曾提到,OpenAI CEO山姆·奥尔特曼曾多次拜访孙正义。先前还有媒体爆料,除了软银投资OpenAI以外,两家公司还有可能在研发AI芯片上进行合作。
不过,OpenAI目前面临极高的不确定性。上周有消息称,这家公司正拟定重组方案,准备将其核心业务转由一家营利性公司经营,旨在增强对投资人的吸引力。
但与此同时,首席技术官米拉·穆拉蒂(Mira Murati)宣布离开公司。此前,穆拉蒂曾表示OpenAI正在构建GPT-5模型,她的离开或许会让不断“跳票”的发布时间再次受到影响。
在穆拉蒂之后,OpenAI首席研究官Bob McGrew和副总裁Barret Zoph也相继离职。上周五有消息称,苹果退出了OpenAI融资轮的谈判。分析认为这可能与该公司多位关键人物的离职有关。
另外,媒体看到的一份财务文件显示,OpenAI赚钱的速度远远赶不上“烧钱”的速度:公司预计今年营收为37亿美元,亏损约50亿美元。
