OpenAI Secures Record $122 Billion Single Funding Round
OpenAI completed the largest single funding round in history at $122 billion, with a post-money valuation of $852 billion, led by Amazon, NVIDIA, SoftBank, and others. Meanwhile, due to daily costs reaching $1 million and low user retention, OpenAI shut down its video generation product Sora. This marks a strategic shift from impressive demos to pragmatic commercialization, focusing on stable cash flow businesses such as text models, code generation, and enterprise services, paving the way for an IPO, with the intention of becoming an AI infrastructure layer.
