AI platform for junior bankers achieves $2B valuation

AI startup Rogo has just nabbed $160 million in new funding, driving its valuation up to $2 billion. So what's attracted all that cash — and 35,000 users, including some of the world's biggest banks? Rogo's platform uses AI to handle the "dealmaking drudgery" usually assigned to junior bankers, like slide decks and research. Though critics worry Rogo could kill entry-level job opportunities, its founders argue it can instead release younger workers "from grunt work so they can try more meaningful roles earlier in their careers."

OpenAI CFO disputes concerns over missed internal targets

OpenAI's chief financial officer told Bloomberg the company is "beating our plan at the highest level" while countering reports it has missed internal targets for revenue and user growth. Sarah Friar said there's "a vertical wall of demand" for OpenAI's products, just days after The Wall Street Journal reported the startup had missed its goal of 1 billion weekly active users by the end of last year. Friar also insisted that OpenAI requires more computing power to meet demand. Suggestions the company is struggling had caused shares in some of its major investors to drop.
