OpenAI co-founder Sutskever's SSI in talks to be valued at $20 billion: Report

The Hindu  

Safe Superintelligence, an artificial intelligence startup co-founded by OpenAI's former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever last year, is in talks to raise funding at a valuation of at least $20 billion, four sources told Reuters. That would quadruple the company's $5 billion valuation from its last funding round in September, when it raised $1 billion from five investors including Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and DST Global. SSI's fundraising tests the ability of high-profile AI ventures to continue to command premium valuations following an industry-wide reappraisal prompted by Chinese startup DeepSeek's unveiling of its low-cost AI last month. Recognizing the importance of putting in resources in the inference stage, or the stage of AI when a trained model draws conclusions, he founded the team that worked on what would become OpenAI's latest series of reasoning models, setting a new research direction that has been widely followed.
