Thrive will reportedly throw in around $1 billion for its part. Microsoft is also expected to participate, according to the WSJ, which has the story. It’s unclear would join the round. Khosla Ventures, Infosys and Y Combinator are among OpenAI’s other existing backers.
The financing is poised to serve as OpenAI’s biggest outside infusion of capital since January 2023, when Microsoft invested nearly $10 billion.
