OpenAI’s Trillion-Dollar Gamble | Business and Finance News

Sam Altman is pushing for a $1 trillion IPO valuation for OpenAI, creating tension as SoftBank’s $40 billion loan—taken to boost its stake—is due next year.

The stakes are sky-high for all players in the AI race. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
