OpenAI Closes $110 Billion Funding Round Backed by Amazon, NVIDIA, and SoftBank

OpenAI has secured one of the biggest funding rounds in AI history. The company today announced that it has closed $110 billion in new investment, with a $730 billion pre‑money valuation that could reshape the race to scale artificial intelligence globally. Notably, SoftBank, NVIDIA, and Amazon are among the major investors in the latest funding rounds.

OpenAI lands massive funding and strategic partnerships

The funding round includes $30 billion from SoftBank, $30 billion from NVIDIA, and $50 billion from Amazon, with additional investors expected to join as the round progresses. OpenAI says this capital will help address three key pillars of AI availability i.e. compute, distribution, and capital. Along with the fresh cash, the company confirmed a multi‑year strategic partnership with Amazon, and expanded collaboration with NVIDIA, securing next‑generation inference compute and vast training capacity across Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems.

OpenAI’s product usage numbers is the reason why scaling matters. Codex, its AI coding assistant, has tripled weekly users to 1.6 million, while ChatGPT now sees more than 900 million weekly active users and more than 50 million consumer subscribers. Business adoption is strong too, as over 9 million paying enterprise users are on ChatGPT and the Frontier platform to build AI coworkers and integrate intelligent workflows across engineering, support, sales, and finance.

The valuation also boosts the OpenAI Foundation’s stake in the group to more than $180 billion, which expands its ability to fund philanthropic work in areas like health breakthroughs and AI resilience. As AI moves from research labs to everyday tools at unprecedented scale, this funding round lays the groundwork for OpenAI to steer how advanced intelligence is delivered, and who gets to benefit.
