Last year, OpenAI was rumored to be on the verge of bankruptcy, with projections of making a $5 billion loss within 12 months. However, investors, including Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Thrive Capital, raised $6.6 billion, pushing the company's market valuation to $156 billion.
More recently, the AI firm held another round of funding led by SoftBank, raising $40 billion, pushing its market capitalization to $300 billion. Still, OpenAI struggles to establish a clear profitability path, partly due to its tie-up with Microsoft.
