OpenAI
The AI research company behind ChatGPT and the GPT model family, valued at $157 billion — the most valuable private AI company globally.
OpenAI's $157 billion valuation and $110B funding round make it the most valuable and best-funded AI startup in history. The company catalyzed the generative AI boom with ChatGPT's launch in November 2022. OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft (which invested $13B+) has embedded AI across Microsoft's product suite through Copilot. The company's Stargate project, a $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative with SoftBank and Oracle, represents the largest AI investment commitment ever made.
