SoftBank to invest $500mn in OpenAI Japanese group led by Masayoshi Son set to join $6.5bn funding round that would value start-up at $150bn Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, has discussed taking equity in the AI start-up for the first time as part of plans to rejig its corporate structure

Masayoshi Son’s SoftBank will invest $500mn into OpenAI as part of a fundraising round that is expected to close this week and value the artificial intelligence start-up at $150bn. SoftBank will invest via its second Vision Fund, a large vehicle for backing start-ups, which is now mainly made up of Son’s personal wealth, according to two people with knowledge of the deal. SoftBank will join existing investors, including venture fund Thrive Capital and Microsoft in a $6.5bn funding round, which is expected to close in the coming days, according to people familiar with the discussions.

The Japanese group was one of the most prolific start-up investors in the years leading up to 2022, during which time the valuation of young technology companies spiralled higher, often to unsustainable levels. SoftBank’s roughly $14bn investment into WeWork and Son’s close relationship with its founder Adam Neumann became emblematic of the excesses of that period after the co-working company collapsed from a peak valuation of $47bn in 2019.

After a period of retrenchment, SoftBank has ratcheted up its investments into AI, with Son declaring it was time “to go on the counteroffensive” to take advantage of the new technology. SoftBank is the majority owner of UK chip designer Arm, and Son has spoken about his ambition to use it as the centrepiece in a network of companies advancing AI.

OpenAI is finalising the details of one of the biggest-ever private funding rounds against a chaotic backdrop. The company’s chief technology officer Mira Murati unexpectedly left the San Francisco-based company last week, along with Bob McGrew, chief research officer, and Barret Zoph, vice-president of research. They are the latest in a series of senior departures this year that have stripped OpenAI of the majority of its founding team and its most prominent safety researchers.

The company is also exploring a corporate restructure that would do away with its current novel arrangement, in which investors take a stake in a for-profit subsidiary of the company, governed by a not-for-profit board, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. OpenAI’s chief executive Sam Altman has discussed taking a direct equity stake in the company for the first time as part of those plans, they added. But many investors appear undeterred and still willing to commit to a company that has continued to push the frontier of AI technology. They are betting that OpenAI can see off competition from Big Tech rivals including Google and Meta, as well as start-ups such as Anthropic and Mistral. SoftBank’s participation in the round was first reported by The Information. SoftBank and OpenAI declined to comment.

It doesn't seem very professional, that Chris Jones would just casually drop mention, of a Company like Amazon Web Services, in a "Goodbye" message..

Especially when such a project would most certainly be under a NDA?..

If it was representative of some other abbreviation (such as your example of Automatic Warning System) then you would still not expect it to be used, because of a possible confusion and implied "connection" with the well known AWS or Amazon Web Services..

Just saying..
"I really enjoyed our talks and working with you on the projects. Good luck on your journey" would have been more appropriate..

I'm betting this comment will be edited, whatever the "reality" is..

One of my last projects in my previous role was focused on RAG, and it opened the door to my learning journey with LLMs and state-of-the-art industrial standards for efficient retrieval.
Anthropic’s recent development in contextual retrieval takes this even further. By adding context (e.g., company names or time periods) to each document chunk, it reduces retrieval failures by 35%, and combining it with keyword search boosts that to 49%. It’s fascinating to see how this upgrade to chunk handling makes retrieval systems more precise and insightful. Worth exploring if you’re working with RAG systems.

Certainly RAG would be "useful" for AWS. Can we expect to see a new mobile app based on Akida2 TeNNs?

Whilst the general market is having a down day, so far anyways, we appear to be just having a breather and treading water.
It's a good sign as far as I can tell and hopefully our share price can continue up with it's recovery tomorrow.
This may well turn out to be just another trader's P&D setup for the end of quarter as we have all seen many times in the past, but, with a juicy news drop which we have all been expecting/hoping for, for a long time now, could provide a beautiful set up for a rerate.
Let's hope for an October rally and the beginnings of regular positive news regarding the mass take up of our acclaimed technology.
My shampoo's running out and I have multiple positive applications for money.
And if that's not enough, it's my bday next week and if the universe is kind to us all and provides what we have been waiting for, I vow to spend the whole day in nothin' but my birthday suit.
Sorry to have to Rizz you all up like this, but a girls gotta do........what, etc etc.

Here's a little sample, just to get you in the mood.

Plenty more where that came from.

What an incredibly dangerous blithering buffoon he is. Eaten a few too many cats and dogs I'd wager and a second term, with what he now knows about the system, and without appropriate checks and balances is shockingly too likely now, and terrifying to boot.
A brilliant media manipulator, granted, and great fodder for late night comedians, but just too dangerous a loose cannon to have in that position of power, in my opinion.

 

[CHIPS]

Speaking of Mauro Diamant - I just revisited his company website for the first time in months, mostly to check whether it still had that eclectic mix of nature photos (it does!) that one wouldn’t exactly expect on a website describing itself as the “virtual Stop-for-Top shop for best-in-class digital IP in Israel”.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Mauro Diamant remains the sales representative of BrainChip in Israel - strangely, though, the IPro Silicon IP website no longer mentions our company at all…

Instead, the logos of two other companies are now prominently displayed next to that of SiFive: Baya Systems (the company that came out of stealth in June and where Nandan Nayampally is now CCO) and Xiphera. This trio is referred to as being IPro’s “leading vendors” - which suggests IPro actually represents more than three IP vendors - but weirdly the reference to “groundbreaking neuromorphic intelligence” seems to point in the direction of Baya Systems, not in ours?

“IPro provides a comprehensive suite of IP solutions, including cutting-edge IP technologies from SiFive, Xiphera and Baya.” This statement also suggests there are more than those three vendors to choose from.

Scrolling further down, however, it sounds as if those three companies are the only vendors that IPro currently represents in Israel?

In Mauro Diamant’s LinkedIn profile, which suggests he still represents BrainChip, Baya Systems is not (yet) listed - as for Xiphera, his profile states he became their sales representative a few weeks ago… Another update incoming?

He needs to make a living and he is living by selling IP as far as I understand. Therefore he is also representing those other companies. As long as this is agreed with BrainChip who is probably happy to have him, I do not find this unusual.

What I do not like is that BrainChip is not mentioned anymore. This is very strange and should be followed up by BrainChip.

"just too dangerous a loose cannon to have in that position of power, in my opinion"

Really? So how many wars started when he was last in such a "dangerous" position of power?

Better to have an empty suit, puppet, like Kamala in power huh?..

You call him a blithering baboon..
What does that make Kamala then? ...

"She" is the one that has the media, Hollywood stars and gifted musical artists like Taylor Swift on her side though, so I guess she "must" be the wholesome choice.

Hey Dingo.
I respect your opinion, your right to it and your expression of it, but in this case it obviously differs radically from mine.
Happy to live, and let live.
I think it unfortunate that US politics has become so polarised and fear the same is happening gradually here.
I tend to lean a bit to the left and freely admit that is my bias, but also acknowledge that power can corrupt and plays no favourite.
In my view there are good and bad people on all sides and we all carry a touch of both the negative and positive.
I think we perhaps are having the freedoms inherent in our systems weaponised against us, driving and promoting wedges and extremism in the hope of weakening us from within. So whilst I do not retract my stated viewpoint, I somewhat regret the colourful way I expressed it, apologise if you have taken offence and hope we can coexist here without enmity.

Pretty good result today to hang onto those big gains. The test will be over the coming days and weeks with no announcements.

There is a Western Autralian company which has developed a low cost system for converting natural gas to hydrogen using iron ore as a catalyst while capturing the cabon as graphite which can be used, for example in the manufacture of steel.

They are currently testing a pilot plant in WA.

With all the zero carbon objectives, I think that gas producers would embrace this tech.

What I’ve learned in life is this: beware of people who say "trust me," institutions that have the word "independent" in their name, and political parties that use the word "democratic" in their name... as well as countries that include the word "democratic" in their title. Just look at the former "German Democratic Republic" (East Germany), the "Democratic People’s Republic of Korea" (North Korea), the "Democratic Republic of the Congo," the "Lao People’s Democratic Republic," and the "People’s Democratic Republic of Ethiopia." And last but not least, restaurants that call themselves number one.

just my opinion
