The speculation of the two tech giants over the investment follows reports that venture capital firm Thrive Capital plans to invest around $1 billion in OpenAI, leading the latest funding round. While Apple and OpenAI have not commented on the news, sources indicate that Apple is increasingly integrating OpenAI\u2019s technology into its products, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dig.watch\/updates\/chatgpt-app-rolled-out-to-apple-users-while-banned-for-apples-own-staff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bringing ChatGPT to Apple devices earlier this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"MicrosoftOpenAIs\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dig.watch\/actor\/microsoft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft<\/a>, OpenAI\u2019s largest investor with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dig.watch\/updates\/the-eu-scrutinises-microsofts-investment-in-openai-over-merger-concerns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">over $10 billion already committed<\/a>, is also expected to join this fundraising effort.
