The valuation of OpenAI, the developer of the conversational AI "Chat GPT," exceeding 100 billion dollars, may seem like a huge amount in the world of venture capital investment. However, it is only a slight increase compared to the valuation in the previous funding round, which ended in February. The surprisingly moderate increase is understandable.
According to sources, the US newspaper Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 29th that OpenAI, in which Microsoft invests, is in discussions for new funding, and the valuation is likely to exceed 100 billion dollars. In the funding round in February, the valuation had reached over 86 billion dollars, more than double. Assuming the funding amount as the lower limit of the target, the increase rate is only 16%. The stock price of NVIDIA, the darling of AI, has risen 73% in the same period with the closing price on the 28th. Technology stocks including NVIDIA, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Palantir, Apple, etc., have increased by 21% according to Breakingviews' calculation.
