OpenAI closed the largest funding round in history — $122B at an $852B post-money valuation.

For comparison, SpaceX is valued at $1.25T, but Musk has to launch rockets and run a social network. OpenAI's job is simpler — build data centers.

The money will go toward infrastructure: the compute needed to train and run the next generation of models.
