Analysts say Altmann's ouster will weaken OpenAI's ability to raise capital in the short term, but the medium-term impact will be limited

According to news from this website on November 18, according to Reuters, multiple securities company analysts expressed their views on the dismissal of Sam Altman, the former CEO of OpenAI.

Daniel Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, believes this is a shocking thing because Altman is a key factor in OpenAI’s success.

It said that with Altman leaving, Microsoft and Nadella will exercise more control over OpenAI in the future. As time goes by, the full impact of this matter will gradually become apparent, and its financing prospects will be "worrying" .

Daniel Ives said that Altman is considered a "fundraising guru" who has successfully persuaded Microsoft to invest billions of dollars and led the company's tender offer this year,Let OpenAI’s valuation rise from US$29 billion (note on this site: currently about 209.38 billion yuan) to more than 80 billion US dollars (currently about 577.6 billion yuan).

Thomas Hayes, chairman of hedge fund Great Hill Capital, said that in the short term, this will weaken OpenAI’s ability to raise more funds. But in the medium term this may not be a problem.

Other analysts believe that Altman's ouster, while "disruptive," will not damage the popularity of generative AI, OpenAI, or Microsoft's competitive advantage.

Davidson Company (D.A. Davidson) analyst Gil Luria believes that OpenAI creates greater innovations than any one or two people, and there is "no reason" to think that this will cause OpenAI to give up its leadership position. "If nothing else, Microsoft's stake and its great interest in the progress of OpenAI will ensure that the leadership implements 'appropriate changes'."
