According to the report in WSJ Openai did not comment on investors. In fact, the company is constantly looking for investors. However, because it is not clear that investors actually get the money back, it also states on the homepage of the openiI that an investment should be noted better as donations. So far, Openaai has not earned enough money to promote its own development and offer applications and depend on investment. Even the most expensive membership so far brings only red number. “Crazy,” Sam Altman says.

Nevertheless, OPENAI would like to change its own corporate structure in a profitable company from a non-profit company to get money in a long time. With non-profit, this is possible only to a limited extent.

Essential investment for project stargate

Openai is also under pressure as the Chinese company Deepsac claims to be able to offer quite cheap AI models with similar performances. However, it is also suspected how Dipsek did it technically. Openaai and Microsoft accused the company of violating their own use conditions by training their own models through Openi.

As part of the Stargate project, the Japanese company Softbank also has to invest in Openai. However, money should actually flow directly into the major project. Stargate is called $ 500 billion AI infrastructure in Texas. US President Donald Trump wants to secure the management status of the United States in the AI ​​region. However, the project is still known without state grants.
