Openai negotiates up to $ 40 billion in a new financing round. The startup is estimated at $ 340 billion, CNBC reports, citing sources.
The round will head Softbank, investing from $ 15 billion to $ 25 billion and becoming the largest investor in Sam Altman. Previously, FT reported similar information.
Part of the funds can be directed to the Stargate project-announced by Donald Trump, a joint venture, Softbank, Openai and Oracle, which involves investing $ 500 billion in the US SI-infrastructure for four years.
In early October, OpenAi closed the next round at $ 157 billion. Startup spends billions of dollars to study and support Shi models while remaining unprofitable.
The recent release of the allegedly cheap and effective R1 neural network from the Chinese company DEEPSEEK has led to questions about the feasibility of billions in AI.
However, the company with the PRC was suspected in theft of data in Openai. The American startup and Microsoft started investigations.

The Openai Production Director Kevin Will stressed that the more calculations are used, the more intellectual the neural network becomes intellectual. He promised to present a new model that will be much better than products available on the market.
Earlier, Altman called a loud Shi-model Deeseek-R1 “impressive” and promised to surpass her.
We will remind, in January his startup presented his own Si-agent “operator”. He is able to perform tasks on the Internet instead of a user.
