  "account": "Abu Dhabi - OpenAI is in negotiations with several investment funds from the United Arab Emirates (VAE) for a planned $30 billion funding round, according to Bloomberg citing anonymous sources. Among these funds are the Abu Dhabi-based state fund MGX and the UAE's sovereign wealth fund. The VAE funds aim to form an investment consortium, potentially contributing up to $10 billion. BlackRock, a major asset manager, is also in talks to participate in the round. The discussions are ongoing, and details may still change. OpenAI and BlackRock declined to comment. MGX did not respond to a request for comment. OpenAI aims to achieve a market capitalization of $1.4 trillion through this funding round. Unusually, OpenAI is presenting the prevaluation as a fixed price, despite no consensus leader for the round being established. This is atypical, as in venture capital rounds, investment firms submit their own terms and negotiate the leadership role with the company.",
  "summary": "OpenAI will vor seinem Börsengang neue Gelder einsammeln. Unter den Gesprächspartnern sind namhafte Geldgeber. Ungewöhnlich ist, dass OpenAI den Preis bereits jetzt festlegt.",
