is OpenAI raising $100B?
This is not a startup round.

Welcome to AI Wire — your smart shortcut to all things AI, without the jargon.
What we’ll cover today:
💰 OpenAI chasing a $100B raise
🧑💻 Cursor fixing broken AI code
🏛️ New AI rules builders should know
🧠 Tools that actually save time
🎥 One video most ChatGPT users miss

OpenAI is trying to raise up to $100B, which puts it in the category of national infrastructure, not a normal startup.
The money is mainly for inferencing costs, which are now too large to be covered by cloud credits or partnerships.
Staying private at an $830B valuation lets OpenAI raise massive capital without losing control through an IPO.
OpenAI is betting that scale and distribution will matter more than short-term investor skepticism.

Cursor acquired Graphite to fix the slowest part of AI coding, which is reviewing buggy output.
Combining code writing and code review shortens the time from prompt to production.
Paying above Graphite’s last valuation shows Cursor is prioritizing speed over deal efficiency.
The strongest developer tools will own the full workflow, not just one feature.
What do you use AI for in coding? |
New York has become the second US state to pass a major AI safety law after California.
The law forces large AI companies to publish safety practices and report incidents within 72 hours.
Fines of up to $1M make AI safety a real operational risk, not a symbolic rule.
Builders should expect regulation to shape product decisions long before federal rules arrive.
