Investors Bet Big on OpenAI's $6bn Funding Round

• Investors are making an unprecedented bet on OpenAI, valuing the company at $150bn.
• Thrive Capital has already invested at least $1bn, with Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft in talks to join.
• Despite the scale, some top investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital are sitting out.
• OpenAI's revenues have surged to $3.6bn annually, but it still burns through over $5bn a year.
• The company faces fierce competition from Google and Meta, and must manage its transition from a start-up to a corporate giant.
