OnlyFans is reportedly in talks to sell a 60 percent stake to a San Francisco investment firm

OnlyFans is looking to cash out once again, but this time in a deal that would value it at several billion dollars less than a potential sale that previously fell through. As reported by TechCrunch, the online platform known for subscription-based pornographic content is in talks to sell a majority stake to Architect Capital, an investment firm based in San Francisco.

According to the report, the proposed deal includes $3.5 billion in equity and $2 billion in debt, which values OnlyFans at $5.5 billion. TechCrunch also reported that Architect Capital and OnlyFans are currently in exclusive talks, where the website’s owner can’t negotiate with other potential buyers for a certain amount of time.

Nvidia CEO Huang denies he is unhappy with OpenAI, says ’huge’ investment planned at ’trillion-dollar dinner’

Nvidia plans to make a “huge” investment into OpenAI, probably its largest ever, CEO Jensen Huang said on Saturday, denying he was unhappy with the ChatGPT ⁠maker.

The chipmaker announced in September plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, a deal that would give OpenAI the cash and access it needs to buy advanced chips that are key to maintaining its dominance in an increasingly competitive landscape.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the plan ‌had stalled ‌after some inside the chip giant expressed ​doubts about the deal.
