SoftBank Group Approves $22.50 billion Investment in OpenAI

SoftBank Group approved a $22.50 billion investment in OpenAI on the 25th. Previously, SoftBank had invested $10 billion in OpenAI for the first time in April this year. The relevant funds are mainly used to support OpenAI's R & D expenditure and commercialization process, cover hardware research and development, model training and other aspects. OpenAI is advancing its $40 billion super financing plan to prepare for the eventual public listing. SoftBank is the main investor and has undertaken 75% of the round of financing. At the same time as receiving large investments, OpenAI is actively deploying AI sound. It is reported that OpenAI is cooperating with an American music academy to carry out key work on music score data to provide high-quality data for the training of new models. Although OpenAI has launched a music generative model, there is still a certain gap between its generated music and human works due to technical and computational cost limitations, and the use of risk AI to generate music may also constitute law. It is understood that OpenAI's generation method has covered many fields according to artificial intelligence technology, including text and dialogue, image generation, video generation, etc. Recently, OpenAI has also launched an artificial intelligence browser, which deeply integrates ChatGPT into the whole process.
