OpenAI announcing “$110 billion” in new funding, leaving out that $35 billion of Amazon's $50 billion is contingent on an IPO, and the $30 billion each from SoftBank and NVIDIA is paid in installments. Anyone reporting this as fully closed is wrong. It'll happen anyway. — ope…

OpenAI's recent funding round nearly triples the amount they have raised so far. The Information has reported that OpenAI projects a $157B cash burn through 2028. This round, combined with $40B cash on hand, essentially matches that projection. [image]

I take @sama point on circular dealmaking concerns — that the revenue growth is key metric. And will leave profit concerns for another day. But also true that these companies are becoming something of a borg. If one goes down, it's more than a flesh wound for the others.

OpenAI just raised $110 billion at a $730 billion valuation and for context, $730 billion is more than 37% of the ENTIRE crypto market. Not Bitcoin. Not Bitcoin and Ethereum. All of it. Every token you've ever owned or traded ... add it all up. OpenAI is worth more than a third

This should be a public company not private. More people should have access to valuation growth in tech companies, and we're going to see increasing populist backlash if only a select group of (already very wealthy) people get rich when America produces companies like this. Bad

$110B in new funding at a $730B pre. $30B from SoftBank, $30B from NVIDIA, $50B from Amazon. The largest IPO in history was Aramco at $29B Not that long ago a $100B fund (SoftBank) seemed insane. Now we have single rounds of funding that are larger!

I imagine there are also favorable economics on the inference side of things that help OpenAI's margins and Amazon's as well which is good for ROIC.

OpenAI just raised $110 billion at a $730 billion valuation. That's 56 times its 2025 revenue. For comparison, Apple trades at roughly 9x revenue. Google trades at about 7x. But the interesting part is where the money actually goes. Amazon is putting in $50 billion. OpenAI
