OpenAI secured fresh $122 billion in a new funding round, lifting its valuation to $852 billion. The AI player continues to accelerate spending on chips and data centers, and pursues enterprise growth.
The funding round, OpenAI’s largest to date, was led by Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank, which together contributed $110 billion. Amazon committed $50 billion, while Nvidia and SoftBank Group each invested $30 billion. Other backers included MGX, D.E. Shaw Ventures, and TPG. OpenAI also opened the round to a limited pool of individual investors, drawing in around $3 billion.
In a post on its website, the AI giant said the capital will provide the resources to continue to lead at the scale this moment demands, supporting expansion across compute, research, and enterprise deployment. The company noted it generates $2 billion in monthly revenue, with enterprise now accounting for more than 40% of total sales. It expects this to rise to 50% by year-end.
It also disclosed that ChatGPT has more than 900 million weekly active users, and API usage is over 15 billion tokens per minute. “Our consumer scale becomes the front door for enterprise usage,” the company stated. OpenAI added that a large portion of the new capital will be directed toward compute capacity to gain a strategic advantage, signaling deeper partnerships with cloud, silicon, and data centre providers, including Microsoft, Oracle, AWS, and Nvidia.
Alongside its infrastructure push, OpenAI outlined plans for a unified AI superapp, bringing together ChatGPT, its Codex coding tool, and an AI web browser into a single interface. “Users do not want disconnected tools. They want a single system that can understand intent, take action, and operate across applications, data, and workflows,” the company explained.
