  • The company has asked investors to avoid backing rival start-ups such as Anthropic and Elon Musk’s xAI.
  • OpenAI's move to seek exclusive relationships with investors could limit rivals' access to capital and strategic partnerships.
  • The company's latest funding round was led by Thrive, a venture capital firm founded by Joshua Kushner.
  • OpenAI plans to use the new funding to double down on its leadership in frontier AI research, increase compute capacity, and continue building tools that help people solve hard problems.
