SoftBank eyes massive investment in OpenAI

SoftBank is in talks to invest an additional US$30 billion in OpenAI, according to various reports. This investment would follow in the wake of other significant funding received by OpenAI, consolidating its position as a leader in the artificial intelligence sector.

Such an influx of capital would allow OpenAI to accelerate research and development of new large language models (LLMs) and improve existing deliveries. The company could also expand its computing infrastructure, which is crucial for training and inferencing increasingly complex models.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider carefully. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
