OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, is considering a colossal funding round in the range of $5-$7 trillion to expand its AI chip manufacturing capacity, aiming to double its revenue by 2025. This funding initiative, which represents about 8% of the world's GDP, is unprecedented in scale, exceeding the total venture investment of the last decade and the annual tax revenue of the U.S. The plan to reshape the semiconductor sector has drawn comparisons to the combined GDPs of India and Japan, and the GDP of the bottom 163 countries. It has also been juxtaposed with the market valuations of leading tech firms such as Nvidia, TSMC, Broadcom, ASML, and others.
This week AI startups raised another $500M+ While OpenAI is talking about raising Trillions for AI chip manufacture. As NVIDIA adds another $100M+ to their market cap. What a time to be alive. A world of AI abundance. https://t.co/uy2xP4ZgiK
Honestly , I am quite puzzled by the headlines that @OpenAI 's @sama is seeking $7 Trillion for a silicon effort to displace @nvidia , @AMD and others. To put that in perspective, the combined value of the entire world's existing silicon companies is far less than that. This… https://t.co/eYI7OfGZhG
Silicon musings: Think about the implications/insinuations of @sama multi-trillion dollar ambition to expand AI chip making capacity. Here are seven that immediately come to mind. 1. We are in the very infancy of the #AI era and we don’t fully understand the growth using… https://t.co/jY0s0Q6cxN
7 Trillion dollars can acquire: Nvidia-1.77 trillion TSMC-690 billion Broadcom-598 billion ASML-375 billion Samsung-370 billion AMD-278 billion Intel-183 billion Qualcomm-168 billion Applied Materials-154 billion Texas Instruments-148 billion Lam Research-118 billion Arm-118… https://t.co/vu0PcObm2h
7 trillions is not enough. it s more than 30% of the nasdaq-100. just imagine, 7t for 30% of the new sama ´s company, it ll be a valuation > of the full nasdaq. ai bubble pop wen? https://t.co/2MA0YLP96w
Lots of news again, on a Friday. I'd say the biggest is @sama looking to raise "up to $7T" (yes trillion) for AI hardware. "Reshap[ing] the semiconductor sector with new developments in AI chips and foundries." Sounds ludicrous but makes you wonder. https://t.co/zTeeb5DaEe https://t.co/E8P0GUFy9c
. @sama wants $7 trillion to expand chip manufacturing capacity That amount is so large that you can't use the existing economy as a backstop to derisk investing that much. You couldn't sell that many chips even if you cut the price. $50 billion or even $100 billion wouldn't be…
vcs when sama asks for a $7 trillion dollars investment https://t.co/GGK8hrk8lS
For $7T couldn’t you just buy ASML, TSMC, and Nvidia?
If Sama can ask for $7 trillion, when I raise this year I better not get resistance lmfaooooooooooo
Few understand OpenAI is trying to raise $5 TRILLION dollars
sheikh: "certainly, @sama. you are aware of our admiration for the work you have accomplished at OpenAI. we would be delighted to contribute to your new projects. could you specify the amount of funding required?" sama: "seven... to initiate." sheikh: "ah, $7 billion dollars… https://t.co/Edh9HHeLEE
sama asking for $7 trillion is just shifting the overton window for your own rinky dink startup. now is the time to ask for a couple extra mil. it’s nothing in comparison to the scales on your investors minds now. shoot your shot.

With 7 Trillion, Sam Altman can buy: Nvidia = 1.77 trillion TSMC = 690 billion Broadcom = 598 billion ASML = 375 billion Samsung = 370 billion AMD = 278 billion Intel = 183 billion Qualcomm = 168 billion Applied Materials = 154 billion Texas Instruments = 148 billion Lam… https://t.co/UDFmucLXpG
Hey @sama ! I asked @OpenAI how to raise $7T. Hope this helps! https://t.co/aS73Ltf2Pj
OpenAI raising $7 trillion would be close to India and Japan's combined GDP Or the GDP of the bottom 163 countries in the world https://t.co/O5t4rtBXpf https://t.co/a9lwBRbDq8
Just realized Sama is actually talking about raising a full 5-7 trillion, and that’s not the post money valuation. Trying to raise 8% of world GDP is certainly ambitious, if nothing else
OpenAI Considers $7 Trillion Round, Thinks It Can Double Revenue by 2025: Reports ► https://t.co/kHFvvlsTIK https://t.co/kHFvvlsTIK
$7 trillion is more than the entirety of all venture investment over the last decade. it's more than a year of total taxes collected in the US. these numbers are only possible in a world where money takes on a different meaning - which is spelled out explicitly in OpenAI's deck https://t.co/md5mssCg87
Sam Altman is raising 7 trillion funding for OpenAI. And here we were mad at Byjus for burning a few billion. We really need to increase our ambitions. Why burn billions when you can burn trillions? https://t.co/nOE7fLqztn
New chip and foundry for #AI will raise $5-$7 Trillion. Not billion $NVDA $TSM $ASML https://t.co/wwWiyegZ56
