The Californian start-up OpenAI reached an agreement with investors that led it to be valued at at least $80 billion, according to The New York Times, in an eventful year for the inventor of the chatbot ChatGPT.
The confidential operation, not confirmed by OpenAI, means that the value of this leading company in the expansive technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has almost tripled in less than ten months, according to sources from the American newspaper cited in the report released on Friday. .
The deal calls for the San Francisco-based company to sell existing shares to investors led by Thrive Capital, it said.
This agreement allows managers and employees to sell shares at a very favorable price, three months after a major crisis that affected OpenAI, when its co-founder and boss Sam Altman was fired and hired again a few days later due to pressure from workers.
