Recently, it has been reported that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has held meetings with top investors in the Middle East, aiming to raise funds for OpenAI's new round of financing. The total amount of this financing round could reach at least $50 billion.

It is reported that Altman recently visited the region and held talks with investors including some major state-backed funds in Abu Dhabi. As the developer of ChatGPT, OpenAI has a clear target for this financing round, planning to raise $50 billion or even more, which would correspond to a company valuation of approximately $750 billion to $830 billion. However, the negotiations are still in the early stages, and the final financing scale may be subject to change. Previously, Bloomberg News also reported that OpenAI recently held talks with Amazon, planning to raise at least $10 billion.
