OpenAI has raised less than half of its $30 billion target

OpenAI has raised less than half of the planned $30 billion in its latest funding round, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

The shortfall is due to increased investor demands regarding financial sustainability and the return on investment for artificial intelligence developments. The round is ongoing, but current results indicate a slowdown in the influx of venture capital into market leaders.

Despite massive investments from tech giants and funds, the developers of ChatGPT are facing record-breaking costs for computing and training new models. This is forcing the market to reassess the valuations of leading AI labs.

The funds were intended to be used for expanding data center infrastructure and further research into generative models. Experts note that difficulties in raising capital could impact the pace of the company's business scaling.
