OpenAI is discussing a potential funding round of up to $40 billion that would value the AI company at around $300 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal. SoftBank is expected to lead the round, potentially contributing between $15 billion and $25 billion. A significant portion of the funds would go toward OpenAI's $18 billion commitment to Stargate, a joint venture with SoftBank and other partners focused on building new data centers across the United States. The company's value has nearly doubled since October, when it raised $6.6 billion at a $157 billion valuation. If the new deal goes through at the proposed terms, OpenAI would become the second most valuable start-up globally, with only SpaceX commanding a higher valuation.

ChatGPT has expanded its video and screen sharing features to users in the EU, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. The update, which first launched in the US last December, brings real-time visual interaction to the platform. Plus and Pro users with Advanced Voice Mode can now show ChatGPT their surroundings through video or share their screens, eliminating the need to upload photos or type out detailed descriptions. To use these features, users can tap the voice icon in the mobile app and select either the video icon for calls or the three-dot menu for screen sharing. Additionally, ChatGPT now offers more personalization options, letting users adjust the AI's tone, writing style, and response length.
