Apple pulls out of OpenAI funding round talks

Recently, OpenAI was actively seeking a new round of funding, which was expected to bring in nearly $7 billion in investment. However, according to the latest reports, Apple has decided not to participate in this round of financing negotiations.

Apple reportedly pulled out of negotiations to join OpenAI's funding round recently, a decision that has caused some variability in the otherwise highly anticipated financing program. Negotiations are currently set to end next week, but the participants and investment amount are still subject to change. Meanwhile, two other tech giants, Microsoft and NVIDIA, are actively in talks about participating in the round. According to people familiar with the matter, Microsoft is expected to invest about $1 billion on top of the $13 billion it has already invested in OpenAI previously. This move shows Microsoft's high recognition and confidence in OpenAI's future development.

Since its inception, OpenAI has made remarkable achievements in the field of artificial intelligence by virtue of its strong technical strength and innovation. With the advancement of the new round of financing, OpenAI is expected to obtain more financial and resource support to further promote its development in the field of artificial intelligence.

However, Apple's withdrawal has undoubtedly brought a certain degree of uncertainty to this round of financing plans. How OpenAI will continue to push forward with its financing plan and how this round of financing will affect its future development are all worthy of our close attention.
