The $300 million raise saw money enter at $2.5 billion and $3 billion, with a third tranche priced significantly higher than the $3 billion headline valuation to accommodate a range of investor entry points. Gimlet Labs told investors that OpenAI may spend more than $100 million annually on its services to secure the capital. OpenAI has since disputed the claim and states it is not yet a paying customer of the company, according to reports from The Information."
