OpenAI is reportedly seeking up to $100 billion in new funding in 2026, potentially valuing the company at $83 billion, a significant increase from its last round. Amazon is also in talks to invest up to $10 billion, and Nvidia may invest $10 billion incrementally. The AI company's revenue has grown rapidly, reaching an annualized rate of $20 billion by the end of 2025. However, OpenAI faces immense computing power demands, costing trillions, and must eventually demonstrate profitability amidst stiff competition and rising training costs.
