The San Francisco-based firm has been reportedly in discussions with hundreds of companies as it looks to expand revenue sources.

OpenAI’s chief operating officer Brad Lightcap told Bloomberg in an interview published this month that the firm has seen huge demand for its corporate version of ChatGPT.

“We have a very global base of demand,” he said in the interview. “So we want to show up where our customers are. We feel a lot of pull from places like Japan and Asia broadly.”

OpenAI, reportedly valued at $80 billion or more earlier this year, is the latest major tech firm to invest in Japan.

Microsoft, one of OpenAI’s biggest investors, last week announced a separate $2.9bn investment to provide Japan with the powerful graphics processing units crucial for running AI apps, and to train three million Japanese workers in AI skills.

Amazon Web Services is spending $14bn to expand its cloud infrastructure in Japan, while Google has launched a regional cybersecurity hub in the country.

Experts say geopolitical tensions have made Japan an increasingly attractive partner for tech firms compared to China, in addition to advantages such as supportive policies and a highly educated talent pool.

“What happens in Tokyo can create a buzz,” Hideaki Yokota, vice president of the MM Research Institute, told AFP. “A base in Tokyo should help (OpenAI) attract much young talent.”
