OpenAI rakes in over $6 billion in new funding


OpenAI raised $6.6 billion in new funding from sources like Microsoft, Nvidia and SoftBank.

The new investors jumped on board after the artificial intelligence startup planned to switch from a charitable non-profit to a for-profit, product-focused company.

The tech giant was in the process of negotiating a funding deal but apparently the agreement fell apart.
