> 5 billion doesn't look like much when OpenAI just raised $110b though.
Just about all of the AI providers "raises" are a fraction of the reported "raise", like this one.
They didn't "raise" $100b. They got commitments for $35b, with said commitments being dependent on meeting certain criteria.
Every "raise of $FOO" I've seen in the past year or two has not resulted in them getting their hands on $FOO in cash to spend.
