Top-7 things that happened in AI this year
Let's dive in.
OpenAI is in talks to raise new funding at valuation of $100 billion
OpenAI is talking about raising money that would value the company at $100 Billion or more. This is happening even though they haven't finished another deal at an $86 billion valuation.
Highlights:
If OpenAI gets valued at $100 Billion, it would become the second most valuable startup in the US, after SpaceX.
The company is also considering getting funds for a new project to make computer chips, working with G42 from Abu Dhabi.
Why it's important: This news shows a big turnaround for OpenAI, which recently seemed uncertain to investors. Sam Altman's return to the company has brought renewed confidence and interest from people willing to invest.

Sam Altman was let go partly for raising funds for side projects, including this one with Ive.
