人工智能創業公司OpenAI即將獲得一筆巨額資金注入,將使其估值超過$1000億。
What Happened: Venture capital firm Thrive Capital is leading a fundraising effort and will invest at least $1 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal.
產生的原因: 創投公司Thrive Capital正在領導一項籌款活動,將至少投資$10億,根據《華爾街日報》。

Why It Matters: OpenAI's ChatGPT product boasts hundreds of millions of monthly users.
重要性: OpenAI的ChatGPt產品擁有數億月活躍用戶。

雖然在技術上是非營利性機構,OpenAI根據用戶使用的GPt級別收費。 GPt-3.5和GPt-4o模型可在註冊帳戶下免費使用。 Plus版本,可訪問GPt-4,需支付每月$20。
The company's offerings have helped it maintain an edge over big-name rivals, including Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL). The Google parent company dumped a $6-billion cash load into Anthropic, an Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN)-backed competitor launched by former OpenAI executives.

What's Next: Expect the company to continue wrestling with lawsuits. Last month, the Center for Investigative Reporting sued the AI innovator and Microsoft, citing unauthorized use of its content.
接下來會有什麼:預計該公司將繼續與訴訟糾纏。上個月,調查報道中心起訴了這家人工智能創新公司和微軟,稱其未經授權使用了其內容。
