With multiple investors writing large cheques to start-ups hoping to cash in on what has drawn Silicon Valley's attention in the last year, the race to develop AI has been intensifying.

The $1 billion target that xAI had stated in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last month would be significantly surpassed by a $6 billion fundraising effort.

xAI is valued at $20 billion, which is less than OpenAI but comparable to several other rivals like Google-backed Anthropic

According to the Financial Times, Musk has contacted investors in South Korea and Japan about the most recent fundraising effort. A Reuters request for comment was not immediately answered by his office.

The report states that Morgan Stanley (MS.N), opens new tab, is in charge of organising the fundraising. The bank was one of several that provided funding for Musk's acquisition of X, the erstwhile Twitter social media network.

Earlier this month, Musk issued a warning regarding the development of AI and robotics outside of Tesla unless he gains greater voting power at the electric vehicle manufacturer. He stated that until he held a 25% voting stake, he would feel uneasy transforming Tesla into an AI leader.

The AI sector has been a rare bright spot in a sombre start-up funding climate because of ChatGPT's growing popularity.

Inflection AI, funded by Microsoft and Anthropic, has also raised money recently.
