Apple has withdrawn from negotiations to participate in the OpenAI funding round, which is expected to raise about $6.5 billion. MacRumors reports on this.
This investment round should secure OpenAI’s status as one of the most valuable startups in the world. Currently, OpenAI is considering restructuring to become a commercial company.
OpenAI intends to raise an additional $5 billion or more. Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft, the world’s three most expensive technology companies, have been in talks to join the funding round.
Microsoft has already invested $13 billion in OpenAI and will invest another $1 billion.
As a reminder, OpenAI is finalizing its fundraising. Investors who want to participate in the financing hope the company will be valued at $1 trillion.
