OpenAI重组落定!IPO与AI投资浪潮在望 但治理结构仍存争议

(原标题:OpenAI重组落定!IPO与AI投资浪潮在望 但治理结构仍存争议) 智通财经APP获悉,2024年末,仍在从奥特曼(Sam Altman)短暂且混乱的罢免风波中恢复的OpenAI启动 了一项原本希望相对顺利的计划——将公司转变为更传统的营利性企业,以吸引更多投资者。 然而,这一转型很快遭遇阻力。OpenAI联合创始人、后来退出并创立竞争对手公司的埃隆·马斯克提起 诉讼,试图阻止这一重组,声称此举违反了公司最初的创立原则。这位亿万富翁还曾试图收购控制 OpenAI的非营利实体,但未能成功。与此同时,前OpenAI员工和非营利组织领导人也呼吁监管机构阻 止该交易。OpenAI则花了数月时间,与其最大投资方微软(MSFT.US)就合作关系在新公司架构下将如何 变化展开复杂谈判。 周二,在启动重组约一年后,OpenAI宣布在与微软签署新协议并向负责审查该交易的州监管机构作出 让步后,已完成重组。特拉华州总检察长凯西·詹宁斯(Kathy Jennings)形容这是"一场漫长而激烈的谈 判"。 据悉,OpenAI已完成重组,其非营利实体现更名为OpenAI基金会(OpenAI Foundation),并持有约 ...
AI“最高潮”时间表来了?报道称OpenAI考虑最早2026年下半年交表,2027年上市,估值1万亿美元

OpenAI正在为一场可能创下纪录的IPO做准备。 10月30日,据路透社援引知情人士透露,OpenAI正考虑以高达1万亿美元的估值上市,预期最早于2026 年下半年向证券监管机构提交上市申请,目标是在2027年正式挂牌。 尽管计划仍处于早期阶段,且可能根据业务增长和市场状况调整,但初步设想的融资规模最低为600亿 美元。 昨日华尔街见闻提及,OpenAI本周调整了公司结构,降低了对微软的依赖,为未来IPO铺平了道路。 OpenAI预计到2029年将消耗1150亿美元,而今年收入预计仅为130亿美元,资金缺口巨大。OpenAI首席 执行官Sam Altman在公开直播中提到: 考虑到我们的资本需求,IPO是可能的选项。 AI热潮中的巨无霸登场 目前,微软在向OpenAI投资130亿美元后,持有该公司约27%的股份。OpenAI的IPO无疑将成为检验这 轮AI狂热能否持续的最终试金石。 Altman在昨日直播中透露,OpenAI今年收入预计仅为130亿美元,与到2029年预计消耗的1150亿美元以 及服务器支出之间存在巨大缺口。 IPO虽会进一步稀释现有股东权益,但对公司持续运营至关重要。IPO将为公司提供关键 ...
