OpenAI officially confirms mega-funding round and ChatGPT super app
OpenAI has officially closed its latest funding round. The company raised $122 billion at a valuation of $852 billion. Key backers include Amazon, Nvidia, SoftBank, and Microsoft, along with a16z, BlackRock, Sequoia Capital, and several other investors. Private investors put in $3 billion through banking channels, and the company also expanded its credit line to $4.7 billion.
OpenAI says it's now pulling in $2 billion in monthly revenue and has crossed 900 million weekly active ChatGPT users. The company also officially unveiled the ChatGPT Super App, a single product that rolls together ChatGPT, the Codex coding agent, web search, and what OpenAI describes as "our broader agentic capabilities into one agent-first experience."
The bulk of the new capital will go toward computing infrastructure. OpenAI is clearly leaning harder into enterprise going forward; the company recently killed off its Sora video model to free up compute and because it wasn't gaining traction anyway. Enterprise already accounts for more than 40 percent of the company's total revenue. "Our consumer scale becomes the front door for enterprise usage, as familiarity in daily life drives adoption at work," OpenAI writes.
