KI: OpenAI senkt wohl Finanzierungsziel um zehn Milliarden Dollar

OpenAI has reportedly lowered its financing target by $10 billion for its recent funding round, according to a media report. The chatbot developer is now valued at $20 billion, reported the "Financial Times" citing unnamed sources. Originally, the company planned to raise $30 billion at a valuation of $1.4 trillion. The reduction in the financing target is due to the sale of US technology assets.

Investors have shown concern recently over the massive spending on artificial intelligence. According to the report, in a first round, even less than the target amount could be raised, as some investors had reduced their pledges. OpenAI aimed to close the financing round before the expected stock market launch of rival Anthropic at the end of November.

No statement from OpenAI was available initially. More: OpenAI's revenue is 20 billion dollars below previous expectations.
