OpenAI recently secured $6.6 billion in funding, establishing itself as the most valuable startup globally, with an emphasis on exclusivity from its investors.
According to anonymous sources, OpenAI requested its investors refrain from supporting five specific competitors, including Elon Musk's xAI, during its funding round.
Musk has increasingly criticized OpenAI since his departure, labeling it 'evil' and questioning its commitment to safety and transparency despite co-founding the company.
The exclusivity request during OpenAI's funding round is noted as unusual, but not without precedent, as similar tactics were seen with companies like Uber.
