Altman Looking for Funds in Middle East for AI-focused Chip Venture

Microsoft CEO and Web3 Community Express Backing for Altman

Sam Altman, OpenAI's former CEO, was reportedly looking for funds in the Middle East for an AI-focused chip venture, codenamed Tigris. The project aims to compete with Nvidia in the production of semiconductors.

After being fired from OpenAI, Altman has attracted interest from big players like SoftBank and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, investors at OpenAI are urging Altman to return, and he's open to it, potentially seeking governance changes.
