Apple is no longer involved in talks to invest in OpenAI during the company's next funding round.
Thus, as foreign media write, Telegraph reports, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.
The ongoing funding round, which could close in the first week of October, could value the AI startup at up to $150 billion.
And OpenAI is expected to raise up to $6.5 billion from interested investors, The Journal noted.
Other tech titans are still negotiating to invest in the AI company.
Citing sources familiar with the matter, The Journal reported that Microsoft is planning to invest $1 billion, adding to the $13 billion it has previously invested.
Chipmaker Nvidia is also considering an investment of about $100 million, Bloomberg previously reported.
The funding round, which would be the highest valuation ever for a private tech company, according to Axios, comes as OpenAI is restructuring its business from a non-profit entity to a for-profit one.
